HP, Dell, Lenovo can just decide that they are going to continue shipping Windows7 on laptops and to corporates and ignore this.
MSFT can hardly tell them all it won't supply them with OEM licenses.
I suspect there will have to be a lot of pre-sales payments made to a lot of OEMs to persuade them to invest in Windows8 products.
