no negative billing here! Dell - Dimension XPS Desktop (fwd)

In addition to the utter lack of consideration evident from the html at
dell.ca (Dell does not use "alt" tags in its html code... tsk tsk!
www.htmlhelp.com/design/accesibility), this Dell Dimension XPS html code
did NOT allow me to delete the microsoft OS.  It gave me ONLY two options:
XP Home or XP Professional. (Scroll down and see.)

No wonder I don't use this "service".

I wonder if CLIC will recommend against buying from dell.ca for the 
reasons outlined above?  (Aren't advocacy groups great?)
