Dan - No Dell coupon, but then it is a Compaq.  No Hpaq coupon either.
I'd have to dig up the docs to see what the process is.  The laptop came
with XP MCE.



Sorry, someone else said Dell.  Anyway, I would be interested in knowing
what version of Vista is "given" for an XP MCE.  I say "given" because I
understand that you can "buy up" from one version to another.  I've heard,
but haven't done any research myself, that Vista Home Basic has less
features than XP Home, and Vista Home Premium is more closely matched to XP
MCE.
