I am thinking of buying a new laptop. I am quite frustrated with those Windows only sites and applications that are forced upon us with no way to escape them.
To make life possible in presence of such things, I am thinking of buying a laptop with the MS OS installed. (Yes, feel humiliated when writing this ...) Just think that if I was anyway buying a new laptop, pre-installed OS will be more cost effective than buying the OS separately from market. If somebody has bought such laptop / or knows anything about following points, please do post: 1. When they sell a laptop with a pre-installed MS OS, do they provide the OS CD/DVD media along with it? 2. Can one install the OS on a different computer with these CDs or they make sure it would install only on the machine it was shipped with? 3. Is it possible to at least partition such a laptop disk and re-install MS OS on a small partition and use the rest of space for other OS? (Or even virtual box). PS: By MS OS I mean any version of it from company's inception till date that those pesky ie-sites would run on.
