Matthew, I am delighted to hear this.
Note that this contradicts the claim, made more than once in
this thread, that such an arrangement is, in practice, impossible.
That claim is made in relation to the main vendors of mainstream systems
- your Dells, Acers and the like - who want to preload Windows. Of
course, if you don't want to preload Windows, Microsoft certification
requirements mean nothing to you.
If you read carefully, no-one has ever stated otherwise.
