AFAIK OS coming with laptops are included in the price.

Laptops are specialized enough that choosing no OS (or a Linux distro) considerably limits your options. You either have Windows, or you're looking at far fewer laptops.

Considering that the only laptops worth purchasing (clevo) typically have the option of no OS, no harm is done.

The discount was large enough that cutting out Windows wouldn't have made a similarly equipped Clevo cheaper. I've had no problems with it in any case.

I used to pirate all my windows versions or get a key from my work. But with the new ways they are checking for illegal copies I got tired of having to re crack versions of windows 7 so I now buy my windows copies when I use it.
