Most companies (and Dell is the exception and newest kid on the block with
Recovery partitions) have a disk image of not just the Windows operating

And not only are they from the computer you are buying the software. It
is the software from a whole range.
So if the range has e.g. 25 extra software packes, they are all on
there.
This means that if they are on there, you could take them out as well.
At some companies the only thing you need is a code.

So we all have established how pre-installed PC's go about. I have even
SEEN how they are produced and how the image is dealth with and that
what the company actualy pays for is the sticker on the side of the PC

I also have seen how they can just as easily do FreeDos instalations
(and they did) or if they wanted Linux or whatever.

I have also seen that the burn-in software is deleted before the system
gets shipped.

However although I have all this knowledge, I think if there are issues
with Windows (licencing or whatever) that should be solved in a Windows
group.
