Hi,

Maybe this is obvious, but it occurred to me. You don't pay Microsoft a penny, right? It's not like some other companies that buy a laptop loaded with windows and then install Linux on top... right?

The reason I ask is (obviously) I don't want to give any of my money to Microsoft.

Thanks!

"You don't pay Microsoft a penny" i think you answered your own question.

They buy bare bones laptops load Linux on them and ship them to you under the system 76 name. No windows involved.
