Thats fine. However I believe hardware should be distributed without 
software attached without a choice to not take that software.

Also note that I did make mention to include those selling notebooks 
that were including free operating system (emphasis on not extra cost).

I can move it elsewhere if most people as against such a thing. I merely 
put it up on suggestion from another on this list/group.
