PC Restore

70 points posted to Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Operating Systems by parucoool 04/16/07

As PC Restore utility is shipped with Image on the HDD and it can get erased if cust formats the HDD.Dell can send the PCrestore Image in such a way that even after format it should not get erased i.e cust should not be able to erase the image. It will save the cost of shipping the Operating System disks.

04/17/07		 I like to decide for myself what to do and what not to do with my computer. I'm pretty sure other people do as well.. bad enough having sysadmins tell me at work that I cannot do this or that, cause it is not within their policy. So I demoted it. I'd like to be allowed to do my own system administration.

04/29/07		 I plan to buy a new Dell computer, in July 2007. ATI/AMD, and Nvidia, should have their, new, graphic cards, that work with Microsoft Direct 10. AMD should have their new computer system out, and Intel should have their Q3 price cut. I hope Dell will have a good computer Restore DVD by that time.
