    sorry if this has been asked already, but I searched and didn't see anything...

    still shopping, I've narrrowed it down to the Vostro 1500 or an XPS of some sort, and it looks like the options for Internal bluetooth are XP or Vista specific.

    If I get a Vostro, I'm going to get the dual OS (XP and Vista)... I want to make sure the bluetooth works with BOTH OSs... and they have two different kinds of "wireless 355 bluetooth internal," one for XP, one for Vista

    anyone know the scoop? do I need to select BOTH the XP and Vista version for it to function properly with both OSs? That just seems silly.
