In 2006-sih I tried to get Windows removed from my Sony Vaio. They could do it, if I sent the laptop back to the webshop, paying for it myself. There was no money to be returned to me.

I think the situation is complex, perhaps Sony paid MS for Windows (XP mediacenter), but they made money on the Norton Trial software, the trailer for movies on my desktop, and ah lot of other cruft that was not really in my interest.
