  As rplnt as said: > but apparently it's beneficial for them economically to only sell Windows machines Maybe in Vietnam it happens just the opposite. It's easy to sell a computer _without_ Windows that with it. I don't get why the companies cannot sell "empty" laptops without OS installed, thought.

    even that one had Free DOS installed. Handy for a quick memory test

My Vietnamese friend had to explain that the staff in the shop expected to earn $5 installing the pirated windows on it... They where not best pleased that I intended to do it myself (with a licensed copy obviously!)
