The Vista license is tied to that computer. He wouldn't be able to sell the license. Rather, he would be able to sell the license, but you would get nothing of value.

I emailed one of the reps regarding a quote I took with the PC DOS license a week back, the rep said the quote was now invalid as they do not ship without an OS and that the option on the site was due to an error. He also said that anyone who had ordered with PC DOS never got PC DOS as the order was invalidated.

i wonder how that "error" managed it's way onto their laptops configurations... oh well, i guess since no one else was able to get that deal, i don't feel as angry anymore

anyway, does anyone know if there's a way to see how much tax will be before you purchase a laptop with lenovo's website? i want to compare the final price ofa t61p with shipping/tax to the final price of a dell xps with shipping/tax, but i do not know how to get that price of the t61p to have tax included.

um, get to the final step before you click to purchase or multiply the subtotal x your tax rate.

i just wanted the website to do it for me, and now i know how to have it do so. thanks :P

I ordered a T61 on June 2nd and was lucky enough to get the dos license. It shipped yesterday and the invoice still says its getting shipped with just dos. I could only find the dos license on the 15.4inch models, none of the 14.1's had the does license available. I guess someone screwed up and put it as an option for the 15.4. The lenovo tech must have been lying when he said no notebooks will be shipped out with just dos, probably to cover lenovo's . I guess we'll see what happenes when I get my T61. Did anyone else order a T61 and get the dos license?
