If you are looking to buy a laptop / netbook without any operating
system then you could try novatech there "hardware only" prices are a
little high than competitors who supply with MS OS, but you will save on
the MS tax if intent to just buy hardware and DIY install. If I was
going to buy a laptop with MS on it (which I would never consciously do)
then I would probably look elsewhere.
