It’s about as easy to dual boot as it is to just run a popular distro. Wifi cards etc can still be a problem, regardless.

I’d rather not have anything to do with Windows, and would appreciate the gesture of a discount for the Windows license (and the money not going to MS).

I second not wanting any money going to microsoft. I'll take it a step further and say I don't want any microsoft code, branding, stickers, or keys at all no matter how "free" they are.

just kick $10 off my price tag and I'll be happy. If you just sell me an empty shell (no disk or ram) which I'll be over charged for I'll be even happier.
