I'd like a PC, hold the Windows please
This is a great article. When I saw Dell was offering a PC without Windows I went to the web site to find out how much money a person could actually save by purchasing a PC without Windows. There was so much obsfucation I gave up. Follow the link. It is actually more expensive to buy a Dell PC without Windows than a PC with Windows. You also won't get any support from Dell for the OS and drivers you'll have to install to make the thing usable. Great deal [:D]

I order machines from Dell without Windows all the time. By default a server doesn't come with an OS unless you specify one.
This is a different story from desktop PCs, though, because Dell gets kickbacks for preinstalling software. Windows-free machines don't generate kickbacks to Dell, so they cost more. - Anonymous
