In my opinion it is good that you have the option to buy a PC with or
without the operating system.
What really sicks me is that absurd idea of the "preinstalled OS". I got
an Acer laptop, they (almost sure) charged me for the OS, but they
didn't give me the official WinXP Pro disk: it was "preinstalled", and
there was a CD-ROM by which I could restore the whole HD as it was when
I bought the PC (that is, with Windows "preinstalled" and erasing all
other stuff added by you), but with NO OFFICIAL Microsoft Windows XP
disk. Incidentally, I never cared actually if I had official Microsoft
support with it. I ignore how efficient is MS support though (I do
remember that the user support of Lotus Development used to be excellent!).
This idea of the preinstalled OS, in my humble opinion, SUCKS! (no
matter how cheap it can be for me or for Acer).

buy a new computer without it installed, though!
