It's darn near impossible to order machines without a pre-sold operating system from Redmond or elsewhere. They are simply not available in practice. All of the desktop machines I've seen or handled since 1986 have had PC/MS-DOS, MS-Windows or Macintosh OS pre-installed. In otherwords, with a pre-sold operating system.

And there appears to be nothing M$ can do about it. M$ needs Wally world more than they need MS.

Think about it.
