Fujitsu Siemens, onboard NIC's, Quality assurance and vendors

So we bought some Fujitsu Siemens P5916 Intel vPro back in January/February for the Boss and his secretary.

These boxes are quite nice, come with a Core 2 Duo (which is waaay to overrated for simple business applications like Word, Excel, Access and Outlook), but he insisted on having Windows Vista Ultimate ready PC’s.

We got them, as expected completely blank. Wasn’t so much of a problem though, since we have a Select 5.0 6.0 contract with M$. Only problem was, they refused to install Vista (as in freezing after preping the HDD). So I called our local vendor, who told me " Go, grab the latest BIOS from the support page and perform a BIOS update!" - Which I wasn’t so happy about to hear and to do … That didn’t work, the box would freeze on boot now …
