When I pick Linux for an OS, I don't necessarily want to never run Windows. So include an option to buy windows on disk at the price it would be if it were preinstalled. I'm thinking in the 10-25 dollar range. If your going to sell add-ons might as well include this possibility to linux fans.

    I doubt it could be $10-15. They could possibly include a system builder's OEM for less than elsewhere, but it would still be somewhere around the $100. And they probably couldn't do XP any more anyway. It would have to be Vista, which I would not mind promoting.

    Include it with Sun Virtualbox.
