fucking pawn shop

Stryker:
I took my computer to the pawn shop to see if i could sell it, i've been trying to go on this trip for a while and i still need more money. He was very impressed with it. The specs were better than anything he's had in his shop before. I was just about ready to close the deal for about $450 (not bad for a pawn shop), until he turned it on. Of course it had linux on it, a perfect installation. All hardware was supported and I even had a modem in there that would work with linux. He shut it off, told me no and to get out of his store (basically). He only takes computers that "have windows xp or better". Wouldn't it be illegal for me to include windows with it anyways?

There isn't any problem, Linux does count as windows xp or better.

I told him linux is far better anyways. I told him if he really wants me to i can put xp on there, he told me he wasn't intrested anymore.
