    The vista license can only be used on one computer so you'd have to uninstall it from the one it is currently on. Most laptops I've seen come with vista as standard and with no option to remove it and save the money so I doubt you can get the laptop without it.

    Are you sure that isn't an upgrade to vista ultimate? Vista Home Premium or Vista Business should come as standard.
