"Wrong again. When you buy a computer the OS is included already as part of the price. If you delete it you have already paid for it." Wrong. If you go to one of the hundreds of custom computer stores in the US you can buy a machine without an OS. Or, you can have OS/2, Linux, Solaris, SCO, FreeBSD or any other OS you want installed on it. Some of the major manufacturers will also sell you an Intel box with your choice of OS pre-installed. In all of these cases, you do not pay for an MS operating system if you don't want it. Consumers have many operating systems to choose from.
