</div>Sure would be nicer for $399 without "Vista Home Basic".<br>
<br>
I wonder how it is even legal to prevent machines being sold without Windows.<br>
Probably some contractual agreement with MS, but it really sucks.<br>
<br>
Comparison to the Mac Mini is obvious, and I don't see a price advantage to<br>
the Dell at this time.<br>
<br>
Is there an empty DIMM slot? I can see that 1GB getting cramped if your video<br>
memory is being cut out of it.<br>
<br>
Any remote control capability?<br>
<br>
