I hate Vista. I got an expensive Sony VAIO Laptop and it won't support any other OS besides Vista. Why can't you allow someone to install OS of their choice on a Laptop.

Are you sure - I thought you could install whatever Linux you wanted on it. Of course you'd have to do it yourself - but I can't imagine anything that would stop it. |

what can you do with Linux if you don't manage to find any compatible drivers.
No sound & No network. Laptop without these things is of no use. I've tried everything and some of our windows team members as well as linux team members have given up any hopes. I'll have to reinstall Vista on my Laptop.
