So, contact-them-directly.
The online store is just for the hoi
polloi and those that have straight forward purchasing requirements. Yet,
companies 'need' to get as many products out of the factory gates as possible –
think about that.
When I was a company 'buyer,' I was for ever phoning up
tech and asking can you do it in green or whatever. They often obliged – if you
don't ask you don't get.
From the “marketing & sales” point of view: The
advertised products have to have basic spec's so as not to confuse the main
clientèle.
Now you know. Wake up to: “you are not the average buyer” - so
behave as such. Inform the bod at the end of the phone as to what you 'need'
(not want) and what flavour of Linux you want to run and state clearly that the
your point of your call is that you what confirmation that the hardware has no
unsolvable driver issues. Then, if that works out well - confirm your
order.
We should not have to do this, in this way, but if you don't like the
present situation then (like the rest of us) you'll just have to blame M$
for creating the current state of affairs.
Phone them with YOURE
requirements – if you don't ask you don't get! [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
