That's not really an option. Qoute from the website:
"Aus technischen und garantierechtlichen Gründen belassen wir
das ab Werk mitgelieferte MS-Windows Betriebssystem auf der
Festplatte. Xtops.DE übernimmt keine Erstattung (Refund)
der Lizenzkosten."
Translation:
"For technical and warranty reasons we leave the ex works
shipped M$-Windoze on the harddisk. Xtops.DE does not
undertake any refunds of the license costs."
So Billyboy is still earning money by selling me something
I do not want/use. :(
I think this are at least $100 or about 5% of price of the
laptop.
