I person I know bought an HP M7750N computer with 2 GB RAM, 400GB harddrive, etc. and most importantly, Windows Vista. They are in an area that does not have Cable, DSL, or any kind of wireless. They are forced to use Hughesnet satellite internet or dial-up. They chose Hughesnet (formerly Direcway). The modem used is a HN7000S.

Unfortunately, the Internet does not work and this person has been told by tech support, (not sure it is Hughesnet tech support or someone else) that Hughesnet does not work with Vista. This may be true but I have my doubts since all the major computer stores sell now is Vista and Hughesnet would by at quite a disatvantage if it did not work. Any comments would be appreciated.
