All they shipped was an "Upgrade assistant". When I finally got to install Vista, the install obviously did not work because they never shipped it. Now they say that they cannot send it to me and I should pay again for Vista. Bastards!

My problem is using the computer wireless it shows 54.o MBS and excellent but it is so slow it will not even let me attach a small note to an email without timing out. It works fine wired.

Also if anyone can move this to its own link, please do so. As you can see, I am new at this and totally frustrated! can any help.

My favorite confession had to be that soon XPS systems will be getting tech support from the U.S. and Canada (#16). This would mean someone like me wouldn’t have to escalate (you may recall my Vista upgrade woes) in order to get effective help … or to fulfill this question from the comments on the Direct2Dell blog post, “When will I be able to understand the person at the other end of the phone?” Although of course, it will be limited to their high-end XPS systems, still.

You can find my travails here, here and here (so far) at RTN. Mostly it’s been about drivers, though I haven’t exactly been eager to start as I have to reinstall EVERYTHING.
