Sell PC's and laptops without Windows!

200 points posted to Operating Systems, Sales Strategies by hansv 03/08/07

Why do we need to pay Microsoft for running a free O/S on our laptops?
I want the option of buying a laptop without an O/S and install the O/S of my choice. Virtually all Linux laptop users have paid for a MS Windows license when they bought their machine although they don't use the software. This is not correct and it generates wrong statistics about O/S market penetration.
