Unable to enter Vista setup program when certain hard drive plugge
I've had a lot of troubles using the Microsoft Anytime Upgrade service to

The instructions for NeoGrub are quite brief, though, mostly just pointing
to the website for Grub. There's lots of in...

We are deploying Vista in a lab environment this summer on PCs purchased
from Dell. We are planning on creating a master image and then, through BDD
or Ghost, pushing it out to the other 40 systems. Since we are getting the
PCs pre-loaded with Vista Business, will we run into problems with validation
and activation on the machines we push to?
