Thank you for all the answers, well if I don't want to pay an OS I will not use,
the only solution here is acer, or buy anyone and go to court and expect a
refund in about 3 years time !!! So my question was nmore: does any of have bad
experience with this one in particular? Home we have 4 acer machines, all but
one working well. The faulty one over heats and I had to set down the cpu
frequency.
As for bios update, I managed to do it with either freedos, or an XP I have on
and old external HD, that I use only for that.
