This feels like Bender breaking up with the Planet Express Ship in the middle of battle.

Cant you ask the shop to sell you the machine without windows? And get a rebate for it, since you're going to remove it anyway.

As far as I know only Lenovo is offering to omit the Windows licence off some of their computers, but only if you buy online of course.

Dell might do a similar thing for enterprise customers, I actually don't know.
