In reality, probably all I am getting is an added discount for
requesting a PC without windows and no license. The PC in all
probability is made no different. Gennerally I can get close to the
retail value of win off the price.

Hi :)
Errr, but i always avoid removing a Windows even if i think i'll never use it
or need it. Apparently with Win8 it's going to be even more important to keep
the OS that is installed by the shop if you want to be able to return the
machine for them to fix hardware issues. At least if it's on the machine you
can set Grub to hide itself and boot straight into Windows.

Tom :)

Hi :)
If it's for myself i do very little to the Windows side except perhaps install
Firefox and LibreOffice. I just don't use Windows if i can possibly avoid it.
However if it's for a colleague or friend that's when i do loads to make it
more usable.
Regards from
Tom :)

I have never purchased a copy of Windows either. I only get it when it comes on
a computer. Microsoft charges computer companies less than what the public
pays, but the last time I heard anything it was something like $50 per computer
that the computer companies pay Microsoft for Windows. So we both do pay for it
with new computer.
And lets not forget the time bombed versions of Office that's included with
many new computers. People start using it, and then, after a while, find they
can't work with their own documents unless they pay for Office.
The first
thing I do when I get a computer is to install Ubuntu as a dual boot system.
The next thing I do in Windows is to delete the trial version of MS Office.
