I agree here. When I got my P5-60 way back, I had some memory or MB problems.
GW2k was quite happy to help and exchanged the MB for me even though I
couldn't get the problem to manifest itself in Windoze. However, the next
system from them (a Pentium 100 a couple years later) had a problem with
faulty equipment and they just washed their hands of it because it wasn't
running Windows. Peeved me right off! I did get the part replaced, but it
was tough. I had to call them back and carefully state the problem so as to
not disrupt their assumption that I was running Windoze while at the same time
not lying...
That was the last GW2k I bought. Now I stick with the "minor" companies who
can tell me what peripherals are installed in the system.

ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under
every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the
best.
