    It wouldn't be a compatibility issue that's for sure. I think the vostro range is aimed at businesses and hence why it comes with the business edition. I can't see why they wouldn't upgrade it if you asked.

    I rang up about that very same issue, there is no way you can purchase a Vostro 1700 with Windows Ultimate... The guy on phone was surprised when he saw that, he didn't know why but he thinks it may be some compatibility issue, he was gonna put me on hold to find out but i told him not to worry...

    Settled on a Vostro 1500 instead... (with Ultimate)

    Suppose it's such a good offer, it'll be worth the wait...

    By the way, my boss got a 1400, it's a good looking laptop... :D
