yes, of course it has, BUT NOT FROM AN OEM......



No, that's still not true. Change that sentence to "It's been very possible
for many years now to buy a PC with no operating system, but not from one of
the *big national* OEMs," and then it becomes true.

Dell, Gateway, etc., are not the only OEMs. There are *lots* of small,
local, mom-and-pop OEMs.
