This is nice, but why not just ship it with Linux? Any flavor would do. Or would that be a violation of the distribution agreement that they made with Microsoft?
And who uses DOS of any kind these days anyway? Why not just ship it with no OS at all? If you know enough about computers to use DOS, you probably know enough to install an OS just as easily.
