well the few machines ive worked on crippled by this have been page city due to running apps yes you stop them but sooner or later you get it bloated. 512 meg of ram just isnt enough for Vista. And Tescos can not offer you any help in choosing a pc you may get enough help buying some mushrooms if your lucky

You tell my lot they cant play "games" on their Ubuntu pc`s and they`ll give you some right ole funny looks. 
Same here....i think it`s a crime they sell those "Vista capable" things to unsuspecting members of the public
Your probably right about the rest though zing,they need to be making sure nobody`s buying these things without at least understanding what their getting into.
Still though.......they might be problematic for the seasoned Windows user but i think the first time pc buyers would be making far less complaints. |
until they buy a peice of software and suddenly realise they can not use it.(I did say clueless not knowing what linux was and the fact its different to windows so these kinda mistakes will be prevalent imo)
