That's probably the worst thing about it, too. The sub 1000$ laptop is probably the system type with the highest sales grow right now, and if the OS cannot run on those... Well, there's a problem.

Vista's system requirements are just ridiculous for an OS. They're not even close to what the average computer has, and "power users" aren't upgrading because of compatibillity issues. I bought what could be considered a "Super laptop", and I didn't even what Vista anywhere close to that thing. Not for a couple year, anyway - Even if it meant that, because of Dell's retarded order system, I couldn't have a BD drive or a modem (Cause modems are apparently not compatible with XP?..)
