Tom te tom t etomSee previous posts on this issue: consensus seems to be that it's simply not worth the effort anyway, unless you value your time at Â2/hour (that's certainly my opinion). I think Neil was saying that even if you get a no-OS laptop, it will still probably come with Win8 on it anyway in 30 day trial mode (maybe so it can be tested in the warehouse before shipping it?). Here you didn't pay for it in the first place, so you certainly won't get a refund either, you'll just blow it away when you're done and install whatever you fancy.
That is right, see other reply. My plan is to install Linux immediately, when I switch on for the first time. And I will write it to the whole disk, thus removing Win 8 in the process. I do not intend to even look at Win 8. What would be the point? It is a trial version so I would have to buy a licence after that time to keep on using it. No thanks!
