Yeah I know what you mean but, it’s a matter of principle.

I'm already in the process of giving them some stick about the fact it costs more, but if I just buy a lappy with a windows license and format it etc, then they are not going to really know that there is a demand for non-windows laptops, even if it does cost more.

Besides what could I do with a Windows OEM License if I don’t put Windows on it?
