Re: no Microsoft tax paid yet.
My guess is that after a bit of arm twisting, the new PC will come with a years subscription thrown in (at a price naturally). The last thing MS want is for the Linux refuseniks to get away scott free from paying the MS Behemoth zilch. /s /s
Or you buy from retailers who offer you the option of "No Operating System" and then stick two fingers in the direction of MS at Thames Valley Park, Reading. (I had to suffer seeing that carbuncle every day from my office window for a few years).
