Why won't you just install WinXP on it and live happy? It's not like installing Windows is a difficult thing to do!

The higher end laptops are nice..but my Pavillion is sitting collecting dust while I wait for the twits to figure out a Vista repair for it.
It has a problem with the mscorwks.dll - a part of .net 2.0 - which got toasted with a Media Player Update.. Now nothing loads. Well anything written in .net 2.0 - which is a LOT.
The twits first told me to uninstall .net 2.0 - which you can't do on Vista as its a part of the OS. The only other thing is a complete re-install as they don't offer a repair from the recovery CDs. They said they'd "look into it", but I think that was a fob off.
Crap. never buy their stuff again.

I won't buy HP because the HP laptop I bought a) the wireless internet totally broke on it b) soon after the drive died and it would not boot up.
Also my manager's HP monitor was on fire / smoke was eminating from it about 1 month ago right in front of my eyes and no one noticed until the smell was unbearable (true).

I have a subscription to EasyElement (the default) and no others.
However, I have added:

Forced to use an HP machine at clientco, I do not understand how a modern dual core machine could be made to run so slowly.

Apart from the scopes where I prefer the Tektronix ones.

And in the 15 seconds or so before the cog disappears you can't click on anything. FFS!
