    Sales/Presales & Post Sales Communication was prompt and Excellent
    Shipping was fast - 1 day to USA *shipped friday - received monday*

    Install was English as well, with all devices/driver installed and ready to go !
    Too bad I plan to blow it out with a slimmed down V-Lite Vista ;-)

    I don't have my order info but it was about 1.5 weeks.

    From the initial order date they provided a estimated ship date.
    It indeed shipped the day after their estimated received date from Sony.

    YOU NEED Vista media in order to do V-Lite.
    I am doing this due to SSD drive.

    If I had a regular big 'ole drive, this would not be the case.

    chef- did you get the cd with the order or did you buy it seperately?

    No CD with order. I have my own media already.

    I made a V-Lite image taking out drivers, media center, tablet, languages, MSn and something else. It cut it down by removing 2850megs off the install cd. However, I have not A/B full vs. v-lited install to compare how much it really saves when installing. YMMV

    How much of that can you just uninstall off of the full vista version?
