what crap...they won't install it at the factory!  Otherwise it sounds great.  Gotta love HP for making Linux compatible stuff.
Microsoft is not the answer.
Microsoft is the question.
"No" is the answer!
The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.

that's the thing... that's why you get install CDs, and not a pre-installed OS. the license with Billy prevents them from doing that.
