Of course, we have the obvious question: what if someone buys a volume
of PC's with GNU/Linux on them? Then what? What sort of punitive action
will M$ take on the company that made the sale? The question is also
whether M$ can show up at your door and have you perform an audit even
though there is no claim on having _any_ M$ products on any machines
(except for WINE, but does that count?) Do you think they would sue? Can
they sue you for _not_ having Windows on your computer? That's how this
is coming across...
