think. I've got a fair few here. Need to stick them somewhere actually.

Ah right thanks for that. That kinda makes sense now. Can you remember
how much it was to have the branding?

Dell are also paid, as all OEMs are, to bundle crapware with windows
installations. Trial versions of Symantec, etc. This cuts the cost of XP
to nothing or often less than nothing.

You'd need to check with the OEM team at Canonical about that. I
suspect the answer is yes, assuming the store is selling machines in
the same way that Dell is.

Ah right. Makes more sense now.
Would a small independent store (like I've been asking about) need to

How can they charge more? They get the thing for free! Well, we
presume they do... I guess it's paying for training and support etc.
If so that isn't so bad

If you wanted one, get the xp one, dont accept the license, send it
