    Hi,
    I am buying a HP DV6874CA laptop from Futureshop, and I know that it is going to come with lots of useless programs and free trials that I don't want. My plan is to reformat the Hard Drive and start from scratch. I've reformatted my XP desktop a few times with no problems, and I am comfortable using guides from the internet. But my question is where I can get the Windows Vista OS disks from since the don't come with the computer. If anyone knows where I can download or get my hands on an image of the Windows Vista Home Premium x64 that would be great. Thanks a lot.

    Brock
