Windows Vista Premium Ready PCs

Has anyone seen any PCs labeled as Windows Vista Premium Ready? I know HP has some Windows Vista Capable PCs ready to go, but I haven't yet seen any that are designated as Premium Ready.

Nope, never seen a sticker like that. I saw an HP computer that said "Designed for Windows XP. Windows Vista capable." Thte thing has 2 gigs of RAM, a fairly good graphics card, and an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ X2. If that's "Vista capable", then I dunno what's Vista Premium Ready.

Wink Windows Vista Premium Ready

Windows Vista Premium Ready:
To get an even better Windows Vista experience including the Windows Aero user experience, look for PCs that are designated as Premium Ready, or choose a PC that meets or exceeds the Premium Ready requirements. Features available in specific premium editions of Windows Vista, such as the ability to watch and record live TV, may also require additional hardware.


Windows Vista System requirements tools and detailed information is also available on Microsoft’s web site at www.windowsvista.com/getready

some Vista Premium Ready systems

I'll check the sticker I removed from my desktop when I get home in about 10 days. The desktop, of course, is VP ready, but I don't remember what the sticker says.

It appears that the only requirements is to have the Windows "Vista Capable PC" logo. In other words a Vista Capable PC is any PC that meets or exceeds the minimum Vista requirements, that includes a Vista Premium ready PC. Excellent question; it'll be good to know.

Soon after I posted above, I found this at the Toshiba website (see snips): "To get even better Windows Vista experience including the Windows Aero user experience, look for PCs that are designated as Premium Ready, or choose a PC that meets or exceeds the Premium Ready Requirements." By the way, I found the same logos at Dell, so apparently the Windows Premium Ready logo that appears below is the official logo.

Your interpretation definitely is correct.

Logo's Make your own...

Many sites have the (both) logos on them.. For "XP" we used a foil strip pack to print our own logos, and stuck on your computers, (both laptops and Desktops). That was when we were BETA TESTING, and XP basically was Whistler..Even Neptune was Great, with his Logo..
No, I do not have the Logo's anymore...but Ink Jet [printers were the rage back then]. My friends are still impressed with the
pic that says "Evaluation.copy" Vista.
