Dell will start taking orders for desktop and notebook PCs loaded with Microsoft's new Windows Vista operating system Friday night on its Web site and over the telephone, the company said.
Dell's Web site will post Vista systems for sale one minute before midnight, EST, a Dell spokesperson confirmed. But although the computer maker will take orders, the earliest that North American customers could receive their PCs is Tuesday, Jan. 30; the day Microsoft is officially launching the operating system for consumers.
