This bug is so widespread in Germany that you even can't get Macs in
normal stores. Smaller stores will happily build you a custom PC without
an OS, though, but this will involve an additional service fee.

The only way to get a Linux-powered PC in Germany is through Dell.

I have been working on this bug since about 2 years, but only managed to
fix it on my girlfriend's PC and some other 35 PCs that were sorted out
at my workplace, had no Windows license but shouldn't be sold naked,
either. I have not been informed about where those PCs went and how many
of the receivers reinstalled it with some weird proprietary stuff, so I
can not give accurate status numbers here.

Apparently my success was very limited given the effort, but because
this bug is a severe show-stopper, I will continue to work on an
effective fix until I see satisfying results.
