Hi,
I'm looking to buy a netbook, and wants to find out - Did anyone managed to
get a computer without windows?
I want something basic, preferably less than 2500 NIS, and plans to run
Ubuntu Netbooks and use it to surf the Internet, etc.
Anyone know a place that sells computers to suit me?

According to http://www.tgspot.co.il/hp-mini-5102-launch-in-israel/ - this
model should do the trick. However it comes with SuSE and maybe proprietary
drivers. So if you settle for a distro with less bugs than your preferred
one, you should be OK with this model :-)

That actually depends.
The last time I bought a laptop with Windows installed on it I made sure to
get installation discs as well. I've never tried installing it anywhere else
(it's Vista) but I don't see why it won't be possible and legal.
And I never compared prices, but I think computers with

The fact you got installation discs, doesn't mean its legal/permitted by MS
I think you are allowed to transfer the system a set number of times, maybe
three.
Of course it can only be installed on one system at any given time.
So, with my installation disc I should be allowed to install it on another
computer, since it's no longer installed on my laptop.

It depends. From what I understand of the EULA (which you can easily

and if you don't agree with the OEM, and do not use Windows at all (i.e. you
wipe out Windows and install another OS), you have the right to return the
disks and get a refund from Microsoft for the value of Windows.
