Be consistent in recommending an operating system

-40 points posted to Dell Web Site, Sales Strategies by mugunth 11/03/07

Sometimes I see
"Dell recommends Windows Vista® Business"
and sometimes,
"Dell recommends Windows Vista® Home Premium"

Why does Dell make this recommendation in such and such context?
Please make this clear to your customers...

11/03/07		 It would make sense for them to recommend Vista Business on a business machine, no?
sugarbear
11/03/07		 That`s what I have been seeing to. Business on a business machine and home premium on a home machine.

11/03/07		 it is very clear, When you are on the Business's part of the site they recommend Vista Business. and if you're on home they suggest home Prem. not Clear enough?

11/04/07		 I think that sugarbear is right, but I think that they should recommend Windows Vista Ultimate to all customers.

11/04/07		 I sure wouldn`t get home basic on any thing. M$ should drop that.

11/04/07		 I would only get Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (or in very rare cases XP) on any PC until the next version comes out.

11/04/07		 @winoffice, I am also a small business, when I ordered this Dell, I ordered XP Pro for what I needed. I won`t get Vista until at least SP1 and then it depends. It will be vista Ultimate. Now if we can just get M$ to add the things they have been promising.

11/04/07		 @sugarbear, concerning Service Pack 1 for Vista, it will be available in the early second quarter of 2008, around the same time when Service Pack 3 for XP will appear, so it will not be a very long wait. As for XP, it will not be available after June 30 2008.
