More details

A computer with Microsoft® Windows Vista™ preinstalled is a locked computer, which will only run Microsoft-approved applications and media files.



Windows Vista™ is the ultimate vendor lock-in. You will spend tons of money but you will not be free to do what you want with it.



Avoid computers with Microsoft® Windows preinstalled; avoid buying from high-street retailers. If you have the skills, build the computer yourself.
