I mentioned that because I saw it here at Debian Linux....
Computer vendors that pre-install Debian
http://www.debian.org/distrib/pre-installed

....and you can find that all over a google (or other) search. Okay that 
is your feelings about 'your world'. Inconsequential ? Well maybe not to 
you, but my view was I am becoming maybe as a lot of people that are 
NEVER going to buy another personal computer with Windows already 
installed. So is there an alternative for us ? YES is obviously the 
answer as I have somewhat linked here. This manufacturing hopefully for 
them is going to continue to grow obviously.

You seemed a bit narrow minded as a "Linux Lover". The other point is to 
NOT pay for a Windows copy license to just buy a computer to use with 
Linux. If you are a Linux Lover - promote it, to share with others your 
discovery of Linux is my view - just as everyone did with Windows.

You can bad mouth Microsoft all you want but the best way to grow out of 
that is to indeed make your next purchase as a preinstalled Linux 
machine as I intend to do. End of story. Windows ? Never heard of you LOL.
