I think that's the difference between ordering a machine without an OS in the first place, versus trying to get some money back after buying a machine that has Windows when you're not going to use that OS. I think it's worth phoning a human rather than trying to find the no OS machines on their website. I've heard that it's next to impossible on the UK site.
