Why Can’t We Buy Naked PCs?

ZDNet’s reporters posed as undercover buyers to identify the policy of the top-five PC vendors in terms of supplying systems without an operating system, known as naked PCs. A naked PC gives IT professionals freedom to install the operating system of their choice. But the ZDNet investigation showed that none of the five manufacturers would sell any PCs without Windows, our reporters found.

All of the included companies seem to just be making excuses. That, or they really, really don’t mind caving in under Microsofts pressure.
