I'm not aware of any major vendors who would sell laptops without some version of Windows or Linux on them. Most probably have some sort of agreement with Microsoft that limits their freedom to preload their OS of choice (or none). > Alternatively, do any of the major laptop sellers offer money back if > you don't use your Windows license? The Windows Refund page might help you: http://www.linuxmall.com/refund/ I'm not sure whether the current version of the Windows EULA still allows for a Refund though. An alternative to purchasing a Windows laptop and getting a refund would be to buy a laptop with Linux preloaded (e.g. from Dell), but in that case you'll probably pay for Red Hat instead with no chance of a refund.
