yeah that is pure crap. I cant believe they think by not shipping windows cds they are going to prevent piricy. People borrowing their neigbors crap is probably the lowest form of piricy. Oh well what can we do when big brother MS does something gay

The only reason they do that is so people dont copy it and sell it. it was a smart move on their part, but i would be mad.

hand built comps. are the way to go. i bought a Compaq Presario 4774 a few years ago, i didn't get a win95 disk...i got a QuickRestore and a stripped win95 disk. Nothing's hardly changed
