Re: How many consumers want a pc with no OS?
I wonder though, if it comes to the point that when you change the OS and the hardware goes phut, they refuse to honour the warranty, because the pre-installed OS (Windows) has, in the meantime, weaseled itself into the contract of sale as being "an essential component" without which the hardware can not operate, therefore, dear smart-ass customer, fuck off and die, we're no longer responsible.
And don't tell me that retail and hardware manufacturers wouldn't love to find any opportunity not to honour the warranty.
