Microsoft has finally release service pack one (SP1) for Vista.  The update is presently only available for download and is a whopping 434MB so you'll need a high speed (DSL or Cable) to download the update.  Microsoft will be including a more compact version for retrieval from the Microsoft Update website in the near future, But for now you can download the update from Panther Computers.  Any customer that purchased a Panther Computer in the last 30 days with Microsoft Windows Vista can bring the computer back to our store for a free upgrade.  All other Panther Computer owners with Vista or customers that have had the Panther Tuneup accomplished in the last 30 days can get the upgrade done for $30.   Other computer brands and customers can get us to do the upgrade for $75.

AVG 8.0 has now been released and can be DOWNLOADED from here.  For those who have recently had the Panther Tuneup completed or have purchased AVG 7.5 from us please call to make an appointment for us to install the upgrade for you at no charge.  AVG 8.0 is a tremendous upgrade that has an overhauled interface and is slated to continue its dominance over the competition.  For more details on the new version:

Did you get a box store or mail order computer when you could have had a Panther PC with two years of AVG Anti-Virus and fully functional software? Did you settle for a 60 day evaluation copy of some other less than effective antivirus or protection suite?  Did you save money only to have a computer full of "buy these services so we can make more money from you" icons and links. 

Well Panther Computers now offers a new computer tuneup.  We'll remove the junk and trial ware from your new bargain pc and install the Panther Utilities including AVG Anti-Virus two year edition, a $51 value,  making that cheap pc purr like a panther all for $80.  If you bring your computer in this week we'll also install the OpenOffice.org office suite at no additional charge.  So get protected and get tuned up now, before you need it.*

Panther Computers has been installing Linux for nearly a year on PCs without legitimate product keys for Microsoft Windows products and on special request.  We now officially offer Linux on all Panther PCs either as a cost saving alternative or a feature rich alternative to the Microsoft world.  Though we have installed many flavors of Linux, we recommend either Xandros or Ubuntu.  Read More for the advantages of each.
