    Agreed! I can imagine all the grief NOT having a browser installed after setup could pose to the consumer public. With windows not having a native "wget" command, it would be a total PIA to get updated drivers on a fresh install, not to mention a browser itself!

    All you need is firefox.exe install on a CD or USB key.

    Its true, but there will still be a huge amount of folks that don't realize that ahead of time.

    They could make you choose one, and not have the option to not have any.

    Heheh, nice choice on manufacturer. What model did you get? Personally I prefer metal cases, but hey, that's me....the one problem with getting a really nice case (I had this problem with my P180 when I had it) is that it is sometimes hard to cut it when you've spent so much on it.

    I just installed the RC on a spare machine - cel 3.06 - 1GB DDR400 - 256MB Ati1950XT and after the first round of updates every bit of hardware is installed and working - that makes a nice change.... Anyone know much about the windows rating on Win 7 - is it directly comparable to Vistas? I noticed it goes up to 7.9 instead of 5.9 but are the sub 5.9s equivalent?

    Main reason I'm asking is I'm sure I used to get 5.9 for 3D for gaming with that card under Vista 32 HP and it's "only" 5.7 under Win7 - but I'm also aware the mobo in the spare PC isn't as high spec a mobo as I had in my old 754 A64 3000 w 3GB DDR400.

    Yes, I believe that 5.9 and below in 7 are comparable to Vista scores.

    Not exactly. Sometimes, but HDDs got reworked. Might explain the drop.
