HP had balls and pre-installed Mandrakelinux 9.2 on some machines. It's an old version of Mandriva, but still, it's lots better than paying $ 130 extra for a Windows license.

Dell once sold computers with FreeDOS installed. This was for those people who didn't want Windows, but MS insisted that all new PCs from Dell had to have some OS pre-installed.

Since when did DOS not count as an Operating System? Did Microsoft successfully argue that Disk Operating System doesn't qualify when it's right there IN THE NAME?
