Try and buy a laptop from one of the big vendors with no OS - very hard to do. In addition, the support (drivers, etc) and configuration to really make the laptop work right are nothig like what it takes to run a desktop. I doubt that there is much piracy of base OS to laptops. Other applications may be a different story.
