Comment 141 for bug 1

Yeah, I can verify this bug. When I bought my laptop, they said the only way I can get a refund for Windows is to return the whole laptop. So I was stuck paying for software I NEVER used.

It's hard to find stores around here that will sell computers without Windows. I am sick of paying for software I don't use. (The computers that come with Linux were too expensive for me.) This bug is so critical, the only way to fix it on my laptop was to format the entire hard drive and install Ubuntu!

I don't fully understand why PC manufacturers don't preinstall Ubuntu and other free OSes on their systems because they are royalty-free.
