Re: [PLUG] notebook without options


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??
