I know that Asus and Jewel sell their laptops without preinstalled OS,
And another one I think it's Elitegroup, has window$ preinstalled but ship a 
linux cd with their laptops.

On the other hand, the Thinkpad R31 was cheaper with XP than the other ones 
without XP...
For me the _only_ acceptable reason to allow XP on my laptop, although it's 
living on borrowed time anyway...;-)
