As far as I can tell? this isn't even an issue. Go out and buy LAST YEAR'S model of the damn machine, which should be able to install whatever it is you want on it. Then when sales of this "most recent" PC go way down?...then maybe they'll pull it from store shelves and online retailers, realizing that now more than ever? the one thing people want most? isn't flash, isn't bling, isn't cute names or matching headphones, the one thing that today's millennial consumer wants? Is choice. and along with choice comes freedom, why do you think it is that Microsoft has hitched itself to Linux with their "Microsoft Loves Linux" campaign? it's to make sure they stay in the public eye and relevant, because more and more people are CHOOSING to buy a Windows PC and install LINUX on it! Remember the old saying: "Keep Your Friends Close, And Your ENEMIES Closer".
