Poll: Did you install Windows or was it pre-installed?

(1/6) > >>

zridling:


Curious how many Windows users do not originally install the OS themselves.

POLL CLARIFICATION: Even if your computer came with an OEM copy and you performed a clean install from a partition or disk, I'd count that more on the side of 'installing it" rather than "came with."

Veign:
Came pre-installed on my current laptop but have installed Windows way too many times to count.

mediaguycouk:
Does an upgrade count?

CWuestefeld:
My latest PC came with Vista pre-installed. I reformatted and put XP on.

So my answer is: both.

Darwin:
My system came preinstalled with WinXP Sp-1a. Fortunately, I was given a real XP installation CD (albeit an OEM one) so I immediately wiped the harddrive and did a reinstall to get rid of all of the crud that had been preinstalled. So... my answer is *kind of* both as well... though I voted for "preinstalled".
