When Was it that you spoke with them? They have been offering PCs with
free-dos for quite a while, and now as we all know Ubuntu pre-installed,
so there is the avoiding the MS tax even if you don't use Ubuntu.

As for corporate customers, there's been lots of noise recently about
them starting to sell Linux to SMBs. I think the rumour is that the
official announcement is going to be at LinuxWorld.
