[quote timg]Just be glad you don't have to deal with Windows Vista yet.
Apparently you can't buy new computers these days with XP, so all of our recent hires
have been getting Vista on their machines .... it hasn't been pretty.
That is why you try and partner, or contract, with whomever your supplier is and see if they offer an image service of some type - where you supply them with an image of a Windows XP configuration and any machine you purchase from them, they will image it for you before it goes out the door.
Or, you can contract with them to keep supplying you with XP on all orders, instead of Vista. I do it both ways.
