Re: Anti-Trust suit impending.
It depends where you shop. Just before Christmas, I had the pleasure of helping my German father-in-law buy and set up a new laptop to replace his ancient Vista machine. In Germany, there are loads of Lenovo, Asus laptops etc. available from major retailers which come with basic FreeDOS installed and no Windows license (and a substantially cheaper price as a result).
The big manufacturers offer Windows-free kit in countries like Germany, so why is it so difficult to get them here?
