HP today started shipping notebooks featuring Microsoft Windows Vistaâ„¢. All notebooks in Presario and Pavilion lines are now offered with the choice of Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Business edition.

“HP has collaborated closely with Microsoft for more than five years to deliver the industry’s broadest and most complete Windows Vista portfolio,” said Shane Robison, executive vice president and chief strategy and technology officer, HP. “We’ve devoted more than 150,000 hours of hardware and software testing and development to help ensure our customers are provided the easiest, safest and most satisfying technology experience yet.”
To help ensure customers have the best experience available, HP also has enhanced its award-winning HP Total Care program with Vista-specific services and built-in support tools.
