Buying a machine with Windows pre-installed is a) Helping to swell Microsofts coffers with my money - something I am opposed to and b) Artificially adding to the number of Windows Vista users.

Why not just buy the laptop, then refuse the license and get your money back: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2006/110706-dell-windows.html http://lxer.com/module/forums/t/23198/ Or buy a laptop from a vendor who offers non-Microsoft options (several have been discussed on this list in the past?)
