I said I can understand such a restriction being an option.  What I cannot

I'm sure there are a lot of sadomasichistic people who would love to install 
an OS that lets them do nothing.  Of course, it is cheaper to have no OS at 
all ;)

throats - Windows XP can still be sold as business machines without threat 
of loss of kickbacks.
