Will this necessarily work? Not all OEM versions will work with all machines even from the same manufacturer as far as I know. Also you'd be in breach of the license if you installed the same version multiple times.
The original XP licence is with the machine. So you can only use it on that machine. Even if it will probably work on another Dell

You can transfer a retail version but not OEM legally at least. AFAIK.
Strictly what matters is not your opinion but the terms & conditions of the licensing agreement. But anyway...As far as I'm concerned I paid for a licence to use Win XP Pro on any pc I choose and my version is exactly ther same as the retail version.
She says all initial vista problems are gone.
Is there any reason why Dell want you to go Vista rather than XP. They are charging you extra for XP and don't even give you the disks?
How are you judging this? Perhaps they have outsourced their call centre to India or something? Or they have Indian people working here in Ireland? Either way what relevance is this to your delivery lead time?Looks like they've gone all Indian and gotten rid of their Irish staff as well.
just bought a few new laptops from Dell myself and choose XP. I've seen vista running on fairly high powered machines and man it is slow.
On the downside it looks like dell wont deliver my pc for two weeks. They used to be fast - whats happened? Looks like they've gone all Indian and gotten rid of their Irish staff as well.
I really don't get why customers continue to support and reward Microsoft with their hard earned money. There are far better alternatives with the pain of switchover practically nil. You do realise that spyware, malware and viruses are Microsoft phenomena? The last Windows box I had would only connect to the internet for about 5 mins before it shut down due to some remote exploit. I canned it after that.I really wish microsoft wouldnt would stop trying to force this through and listen to the customer. perhaps because they did such a good job with xp it seems to me there is very little demand for this product
