The UK HE store is just a part of the several different Education stores that you can use to purchase in the UK. I have no idea if the same applies in the US.
I found only recently that i have 3 years of warranty on my MacBook for free, its in its second year and i almost want it to die so i get a new one!
Well yes it may have been the persons fault, but Apple have a solution for it don't they.
OS X does cache, AppleInsider mentioned this today:
"Mac OS X aggressively caches data to allow the slower HDD to launch its applications nearly as fast on a second try."
abahshh! LOOKS!? Compare this: http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/image-files/media-center-edition-2005.jpg

And as you said, only the two top, most expensive versions come with it. Compare that with one, substantially cheaper, version which contains all.
Now i'm really no DVD expert...but...did you just make some of those terms up

Yeah, that was your fault, not Dell's.

This one is genuinely funny, because Vista actually does precache often used files & programs to make them faster at loading, whilst OS X doesn't! But hey, placebo is a good enough reason to buy a Mac, right?

Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate both come with Windows Media Center. Sorry, but Media Center simply blows away Front Row in terms of looks and functionality.

Plus, if you're using it for DVDs, the built-in DVD decoder in Vista Home Premium and Ultimate takes full advantage of GPU video features. So you get full hardware MPEG-2 decoding, deblocking, hardware upscaling, etc.
