Actually, no I aint joking, it's a new PC which has the option to get
Vista when it came out. Had some trouble getting it though...but it
is
on
order...apparently.


You are one of many who have not had that upgrade. This is a disgrace,
and
I wonder whether Microsoft are aware of how badly this has been
handled
on
their behalf.

I didnt know that John. I have emailed them three times now asking about
the
progress of my order, and no reply has been forthcoming as of yet. I
guess
that they just couldnt handle the amount of orders they recieved, very
poor
show. Thanks for the info.

Who is it you have a problem with? Isn't it possible to download Vista
from the
MS site?

It's a company called Moduslink, they are the official suppliers for
Europe,
based in Holland.

That explains everything. Shall I send the boys with the baseball bats
round to
see them?

Thats a good idea, a bit of persuasion from "the boys" might help things
along :-)

Don't hold your breath

Ahh, well if Microsoft cant persuade em I doubt your boys will. thy clained
they couldnt get the money out of my account as the article says, no reason
for it either, very annoying.


I probably could download it from there yes, but would have to pay the
full
amount for it, whatever that maybe. But this was part of the deal with the
new PC, it is only costing me £16, and it isnt a d/load, its sent by post
so
I get the original discs...well, supposed to anyway!

or a late delivery of a pre-imprgnated mail order Russian wife, if they
get the
orders mixed up?

Martin

Ewww no thanks, I do my own impregnating, thats the fun part :-)
