Microsoft / Laptops — Forcefully selling Microsoft Vista product

Hi All,

I just wondered if anybody got attention to it. I had bad experience while purchasing any notebook.
I have asked almost all major laptop sellers to provide me DOS or any Linux operating system. (As all these are free).
In fact, even if they want to sell Microsoft product sell give us Windows XP rather then Vista.
My experience is bad with vista & its public opinion about it. Anyway, consumer is paying price for operating system then why can’t we get our choice of OS.
I saw, everybody was asking about XP in place of vista but laptop sellers are rigid on their terms. Might be they are getting much profit on that but its consumer’s right what to buy & what not to buy.

It is frustrating that nobody is raising voice against this trap. I hope our Govt. will interfere into matter & give justice to consumers.
