Screenshot from the Simpsons where Otto is talking to Marge and Homer standing next to a window in their house with a caption “Oh wow, windows!.. I don’t think I can afford this place.”

    This route does still count as a Windows sale and you still pay for the license.
    So if the manufacturer offers a “no os” option, rather than any Linux option, it’s still a better choice than “Windows” if you know you will reimage to something else anyway.
