    are the vista that comes with the HP laptops gona have bloatware in it? like the XP did? if it is, that is bad unless they give u the original Vista CD with it. because recoverying it will reinstall all the boat with it :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: if u want to clean install it with no bloatware then u gona have to buy the original Vista anyways. thats why i think its cheap to get the business that cost +75 dollars only becuz its got bloat.

    In all reality, it probably will have all the bloatware...they were given the RTM version back in November after all.

    of course it will have bloatware, why would it not? all theyve merely done is install vista recovery partitions and vista OS instead of XP and the bloatware, well theyve probably bought or have agreements with software companies about that. I highly doubt HP or any other brand name actually get discs from microsoft when they purchase them OEM. they probably just get product keys and assign them to their respective systems and the OS is a OEM master copy they just replicate for each particular system or something like that.
