I want to buy a new notebook, but I don't want to run Windows XP. Is there any way that I can purchase a system from, say, Dell or Compaq, without XP? I don't want to pay for an OS if I'm going to format and install Linux anyway.
What company, in its right mind, is going to complain about someone running its ads for free?
Well, Fry's electronics for one. Not too long ago, there was a site, frysad.com that had scans of their newspaper ads. This site was not run by Fry's, so they had their lawyers shut it down.
