Microsoft are certainly enforcing the Windows pre-installation edict on the PC Makers, so perhaps they are right to be directing litigation at Microsoft. However they are wilfully choosing to purchase units that include the OS pre-installed. It will be interesting to see both the arguments used within court, and the outcome of this case. Alternatively, they could simply purchase PCs from vendors that *do* provide units which a choice of OS, hitting the PC manufacturers and Microsoft where it hurts the most. |

This is a far more interesting idea. The problem is that people are dumb generally, so they buy what is on offer. This is MS attack. Like Henry Ford, any colour/OS as lonf as it is black/Ms Windows. I would argue that all computers should be sold without and OS. This is then offered as an option. |

It would be interesting to know where you could get laptops without an OS in NZ. |
