You can't really blame Dell. They basically only supply the hardware, so tech support really won't get you anywhere. It's Microsoft's fault that Windows sucks. Vista is the worst version yet. Dell is great because if you don't like Vista, they are (to my knowledge) the only major computer vendor who actually supplies XP drivers for their new computers. Might be time to consider switching to GNU/Linux.
