It's my understanding that if you call up a sales rep and talk to the them,
you can buy a model with a "DOS Entitlement Certificate" (or something like
that), although it doesn't come pre-installed.  It's not on the website,
but I know they do this for special bids and I was told it should be
available for anyone.   Of course, that's just word of mouth, but it's
worth a shot.
