I had to send 2 (yeah two of them) Dells back because vista crippled them. They always froze after 3 minutes. made the techs furious. they hate vista, but don't tell that I told you.

Got a hp that converts to tablet, and it runs vista quite well.
I am guessing that hp put in some tweaks of their own to tame the beastly vista.

runs the tv tuner. records. very nice really

Renting a Hummer Limousine in Toronto

The H2 Hummer limo is a curious combination of heavy duty, rugged toughness and super sleek limousine luxury.  Indeed a strange combination, but it works.  It is very interesting and quite attractive; certainly way out and unusual; a real head turner.  From a utilitarian vehicle into a luxury limo, it metamorphasised like a caterpillar into a butterfly.  It remains still rather chunky and strong looking, rather like a sumo wrestler in a tuxedo!

The Hummer H2 was originally designed after the style of the US military Humvee, and was then converted into a still tough but more elegant civilian.

General Motors was the originator of the Hummer, and the Hummer H2 made its appearance on the market in 2003, when it was nominated ‘North American Truck of the Year'. It has since been sold and now the Hummer brand is owned by a Chinese company, Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery.

The H2 Hummer is the ideal off road vehicle.  It has 25cm clearance above the ground, an armoured under body and can go over most terrain without getting stuck. It has a wider than usual track, which helps prevent overturning.  It has all-wheel drive and low-range gearing for off-road driving as well as ABS, traction control and anti skid devices.

The luxury features include leather upholstery and heated seats, air conditioning with climate control, a wireless cell phone link, sound system with CD player with 6 disk changing capacity, as well as any number of optional extras.

It is not the most ideal vehicle for city driving as it is rather hefty, high and wide, and not as manoeuvrable as most town vehicles, especially in small spaces and parking areas.  But for the out of town excursions it is hard to beat.

Perhaps you love the great outdoors, but oh! You love comfort and luxury too.  How can you get both?  Well now there is an answer to your dilemma.  Consider renting a Hummer limousine.   Yes, you read right.  That big, bad, bold Hummer comes in a limo model and, even, for super luxury, a stretch limo!  This is luxury and comfort that you can hardly imagine in such a utilitarian vehicle.

These stretch limos carry from 14 to 16 passengers have luxuries such as super comfortable seating and built-in bars, TVs, DVD players and CD players, with surround sound.

Obviously the limo conversion, and more particularly the stretch limo conversion, will not give the Hummer limo the freedom to go completely off road and over the rough terrain like the unconverted H2, but to a much greater extent than the average limo, you can get out into nature and off the beaten track.  No need to stick to the main highways.  If you are thinking of visiting a vineyard for a wine-tasting occasion, or a scenic drive along quieter roads or even suitable tracks, you can enjoy comfort and luxury and go off the beaten track to see sights that most people in limos usually miss.
