[plug] OS free laptops?

[Max]

Hi,
Just one thing about Dell, they seem to be quite accommodating as it 
seems that they can give discounts and play around with prices, i would 
suggest that they would have worn the MS tax them selves maybe to get 
the sale or just keep a satisfied customer.
I doubt if other retailers would be so happy about it ?

I bought a Dell laptop last year and all hardware seems to work well, i 
got a good deal but i must admit that i didn't think of asking them to 
dispose of the redundant MS slopware!

Regards Max.
