if you have Dell, did you get a Windows cd?
 

when i got my laptop last week, it didnt come with an winxp cd so i called their lovely India-outsourced workers (that i can barely fuckin understand) and dude said he'd send the cd out.

so the ups man just came and bought me a package from Dell...open it up..and its a fuckin Reinstallation CD for Windows Media :disgust

whatever happend to them just shipping out the windows cd with the order? :mad:

I dont have a dell, but my sony laptop didnt come with a windows CD either ...

It does come with about 8 other "recovery" CD's, so that you can fix your windows, but not really change it in any way.

Just another way MicroSoft and the resellers to fuck you into buying a new windows CD.

Huzzah.

twinkley

so what did they do to the cd thats installed on my laptop, throw it away? lol :(

they only have one copy of windows :~

They say to use Microsoft Windows System Restore or Dell PC Restore to return your computer to it's original operating state.

most new computers dont come with the win cd

You didn't check the box for the CD when you ordered the laptop. It's $10 extra.

They don't come with the CD unless you pay extra, it costs more money to give you that version.

I'm a huge Dell fan. Excellent machines, and despite what some say my experience with customer support has always been top notch and stand up.

yes but you have request and pay an extra $10

Lol. This sounds like from a sonofsam cartoon. Did you meet dell guys at some convention? ;)

grr. didnt even see that option. guess i gotta make another phone call. :(

..that being said, I have a dell laptop and it came with the winxp cd.
