I will ask the toll free number whether I can skip the OS. I already got 1 Vista ultimate license to use, along with Home Preimum too....so why buy an OS from dell.

Yeah mee too asked if it can get ubuntu, but they said no . Ubuntu is shipping with High end laptops :D , not for ppl like me who want to save some money on the OS, btw having Genuine vista is worth. In the end i am happy (except the ram issue , damn 3k extra for 2 gig is awesome:( )

@Choto - Well I think the prices have increased. I mean I paid the amount that came on the site. We have to pay that much only.

I may be wrong, but every PC builder allow u to ipgrade even after u have made the purchase, call up again to see if u can manage 2 GB :p

anyway, OS option is good for u, but for me of GX, we dont have any issue with that, as we already own MSDN / TechNet copies !!!

Now if u consider people want to use Linux or people who has option like us, aslo that un-writen rule in India (For software) :lol: the number is pretty high !!!

Even there was a net report that one person placed one order on Dell system and then emailed Dell to remove all software including the OS, and dell did !!! i cant digg up that link, but i hope u remember !! :p

NICEEEEEEEEEEEE

Here is so far what I have configured. The price is in dollers, any links for indian rupess?. Is there anything I can add/remove? This is the most efficient & balenced things I will need. No need of an integrated webcam, it saves money not to have one integrated. If needed I can order the Microsoft LifeCam NX series from MS compony store.

Is it recomended to buy a 3 years warrenty? I don't think there will be any problems coming with it. Other then a bad keyboard etc. I selected one year In home service, eik saal main hi waat laga dunga iski with high usage :D. Software issues I can solve myself. I m just worried about the hardware issues.

Its not about removing an OS, it about getting it cheap if the OS is removed.

AFAIK, you can select not to comply by the EULA & License agreement of Windows Vista OEM, in which case you can send the DVD back & can get some money as refund from Dell.

Edit: One thing changed, I upgraded the graphics card to 256 MB 8600GT.

Also, by adding the highest end components, the total cost of the config is still $2035, along with 3 years warrenty

In your face Apple :D
