Dell sells some computers with FreeDOS. They cannot sell any computer without an OS because of their agreement with M$. I am sure this is the case with other computer manufacturers too. So what Dell does is they do not install any OS on the computer but put a copy of FreeDOS in the package to full fill M$ service agreement. But the bad news is Dell sells computers without OS to only large companies that buy large numbers of computers at a time.
