But you should have this option when you purchase the system, without paying MS - Microsoft prevents that from happening. Therefore you buy a Dell and you're stuck paying for XP whether you want it or not. It's like movie theaters not allowing you to bring your own popcorn, since you have no choice, their popcorn don't have to be good.
Some companies like Gateway have tried to fight this policy.
