If a PC shipped with Windows preinstalled, can you remove the OS and 
install Linux instead? Well, no, according to Microsoft. A somewhat obscure 
Microsoft site aimed at helping schools deal with donated computers flatly 
states: "It is a legal requirement that pre-installed operating systems 
remain with a machine for the life of the machine."
