I've known companies concerned that you might be using illegal
copies of an operating system if you don't want it bundled....
Maybe it is their profit margin they are concerned at. Then
again some shady PC vendors looked at me as if I was an alien
when I asked for my MS licence (I think I got the last licence
pack in that particular shop), but yes that was a while ago.

Last MS OS I bought was DOS, something to do with the Windows
installer objecting to DOS not being preinstalled. Kind of
commercial licencing stuff I try to avoid these days.
