    WHy oh WHy do they sell this w/o the choice of os? So win 7 costs a bit more, than Unbuntu, but sheesh, the cost to the box makers is peanuts compared to the rip to us the consumers.

    The prob is that when we add ...say win7, the cost is tooooo high.
    Wake up Zotac and buy some licenses from MS and see if you finally get some buyers...
