About time. In many countries there are laptops that come with "FreeDos", which is rather pointless. If they aren't going to use Windows, why not just use a great Linux distro like Ubuntu?

Sure Microsoft might not like that, but unless Microsoft is paying them to not allow Linux on their laptops (which I think would be illegal), then who cares?

There was a line of Thinkpads that you could buy with FreeDOS installed for a while. I think there was an understanding that everyone would replace the OS before even booting into FreeDOS once. Perhaps they didn't want to support an official distro?
