Is it? It's my understanding that MSFT agreed to discontinue the practice of charging based on systems shipped (rather than OS copies loaded) in the consent decree years ago. Michael Dell was quoted at the time saying he'd sell OS/2 if enough customers asked for it to make it worth his while. I thought that this was the case also. But if you ask any of the top tier vendors to ship you a PC without Win95 pre-installed, they may do it, but they will not give you a discount for not receiving Win95. I also thought that the Consent Decree was supposed to stop this practice.
