XP Free

I wouldn't be surprised if they already do get it for free - it is certainly very cheap, perhaps around $20 per machine.

The big issue here is the price they must pay if they start selling Hardware, or worse still - hardware with alternative installation options!

It's about time this practice was essentially outlawed.
