Thread Starter 
For those of you who have purchased a notebook, any notebook, from Hypersonic, and had the OS pre-installed and configured, what is the extent of this service, do they include any unnessecary programs like AOL promos or anything, and was the $100-179 worth it in your opinion as opposed to purchasing a copy of XP and installing it yourself? I don't think I have a copy of XP lying around, and even if I do it is the Home edition, and I want Pro. To upgrade to the Pro, it is like $199 at Best Buy (I know you can get it for atleast half that off the web, but are those even relatively respectable?) Thanks for the help guys

I have the pro on my machine. you get a super clean install with no 3rd party apps. they also have all windows updates and latest drivers done. another goodie is the recovery dvd you get with the OS.

I want to reiterate what others have stated, it is a very clean install. Also, it came with the Windows OEM disk and manual, so you don't have to just use the recovery dvd to reload your system.

Personally, I chose to buy my own OEM copy of Win XP Pro for ~$100 and save a few bucks. After doing a base install + patches, I'll Ghost my own image(s) to DVD.

Clean install with standard OS (WinXP Home) with all updates and updated drivers.
