Assuming that pc manufacturers pay microsoft for the OS (duh..) at a fraction of the retail price and they build it into the cost of the PCs/laptops, SO If we do NOT want the OS supplied by microsoft, do they give us a discount? is there an option for the same hardware config sans operating system?
Yep there genrally is a diff of around 5,000 bucks... but thats when the company markets a version of the model with linux n a separate one with win.
