I agree, If we were to explain the situation and then explain how they
need to fork out lots of money on a legal copy of windows, when there is
a free solution in free software,  the fact MS's own rules prevent us
just grabbing any cd and instlling can work in our favour and against
Microsoft.

Lets give them the facts and let them choose.
