I've been looking for the option on Dell's website (as mentioned earlier) to get rid of the Windows OS on a laptop in the customize section but can't find it. We are still forced to pay the "Micorosoft Tax"?? I should like to see an option that says "No OS - $200" or something instead of just picking between XP pro and XP home. Maybe Im missing something?? --- LeRoy Cressy <leroy@lrcressy.com> wrote: > thanous@dca.net wrote: > > > > >HP said that Microsoft requires them to sell > their notebooks > > >"fully functional", which means with the "newest" > Microsoft > > >OS.
