It's pretty hard to buy a computer that doesn't have either Windows or MacOS pre-installed; and if you do, you have to go out of your way to find an install disk.Miles. You're being a little parochial. Why do you assume I'm talking about laptops?First off... stop this bs of sending replies personally (or sending dups to both the list and me).
Why do you keep sending me messages that contain both email addresses? You are CC'ing the list, not me.
Second... ok... go into a Best Buy, or a Staples, or an Apple Store, or a Microcenter, or order online from Dell... if you order a desktop machine or a laptop, or a tablet, or a smart phone, it's going to come w/ an O/S pre-installed. For that matter, an awful lot of rack-mount servers come with an o/s pre-installed. Where have you been?
