Re: De-Vistafying a new PC - Charges?

No; the origonal op stated that 300ukp was being charged to install winxp
pro on a sys that had been supplied with vista
I merely stated that since the retail price of winxp was some 225ukp then
the total, to include labor of 300ukp, (and tax) was not a big deal

But then perhaps it was a translation issue :)

Sure you did, you propose to spend the 300 which is for Vista I assume.
