Yeah, the poor thing won't load even once before it gets nuked from orbit.

I hope more hardware manufactures offer to ship without a windows license. It is cheaper for everyone and people have less hassle installing an OS of their choice on the device.
-
If the operating system is FOSS, I'd be willing to pay 50% the cost of a Windows license but to the FOSS maintainers and the upstream distros they rely on. Gotta close the causal loop.
-
Yeah, I'd do this if it shipped "ready to play."
I'm more than capable of setting up my own system but it'd need to be plug and play to be realistic.

I'm pretty sure that Microsoft pays OEMs for having Windows pre installed just like any other adware.
-
That would be wasting their market position.
If vendors can expect say 10% of people to choose a non-windows option it would suffice for microsoft to offer a 20% discount in return for the vendor not offering such an option.10% might actually be a bit low, there are a lot of people willing to install windows themselves and use one of the comically easy unlock methods.

I just leave that up to anaconda.
"Use whole disk"

fdisk is definitely not leaving anything to the imagination.

Why did you choose to depict Win as a cute green brick?
-
I think it fits. It’s about as agile as a brick, and Microsoft tries really hard to make it look friendly and approachable.
