Does the pre-installed software on the purchased computer include Windows Vista, and is that something you actually need?

Did they reduce the laptop's price by the cost of Vista? If not, then this isn't a solution, because simply removing the OS without lowering the price of the hardware can be done in almost any store.

They removed it... after a conversation with the senior manager.

P.S. Yes, by the way, the OS is not installed in the store, and it is not sold there either, if that matters.

But the point is that it's mostly done in the store.

P.S. Yandex, St. Petersburg, Moscow... at least look at where the person lives – in Kazakhstan. And judging by the thoroughness of the question, he's not lazy and has probably already searched for possible options near him.
