This is typical of MS, I might be getting a Laptop at some point and if I do I'll want one with no OS installed so I can install one of my choice.

Third-party vendors that make as much - if not more - off of bare systems as those with Windows licenses. That is to say, if they lose their licensor status, they only lose ~ 25% of their business (in more extreme bare-vendor situations).

If you could buy a comp with pre-installed BSD (not counting OSX), or Linux, would you do it?
I'm not sure... I've gotten used to installing my own, making all the decisions, knowing how everything is set up.
