I’m posting this in hopes that it will receive hits from google. I own a Sony Vaio VGN-FW190 laptop. The laptop was pre-installed with Vista. Since I do video editing, It was essential that I install Windows 7. Still, my computer is having problems and Sony support has stated “we don’t support your model”. I want to post this as a warning to anybody buying a laptop from Sony that you are stuck with the pre-installed operating system. I think that a lot of people with existing models will be affected and this will only fuel the anger and get more people to switch to macs. I would normally be sympathetic, if it weren’t for all the sony vaio product placements I see everyday in Windows 7 commercials.
Sony has really degraded as a company overall. They don’t lead the industry on any of their electronics categories, including audio players, computers, televisions, and cameras. When I’m ready to shell out $5000 for a professional camcorder, I won’t even look at a Sony. I will go with Canon or Panasonic.
