No, you don't get a free version, you don't get the media. You wipe it you've lost it. Not too mention the OEM version runs about $100. So no it's not free. Moron.

Windows 7 Home Premium OEM is $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/.... So it does cost a bit of money.

LMOL - who the fuck buys stuff in a store anymore? Seriously? Oh havens how does Amazon make any money without a brick and mortar store....

Most people do not. Keep trolling for Microsoft.

No. No one demanded that any computer came preinstalled with windows. It just came that way. But when other operating systems starting hitting the scene, people started asking to have the computer sans windows and the manufacturer started saying no.

Moron.

Operating System. There clearly defined.

LMOL that's why windows tablets and windows phones have done sooo well *eye roll*

Technically? Really? Because Windows has drivers that will support Apple hardware? That's news to the world.

Microsoft's balls are dangling from your chin...

Except you are not buying the computer Microsoft. You are buying the computer from Dell, HP, etc.,

Actually they do and can but no one wants to listen. People just want a quick fix. It's called a well balanced diet and exercise..

About the time Kock brothers became politically active and Fox News made people hate science...

Yeah they're sure going to cure AIDS that way...*eye roll*

Do you even know what you are talking about. There is no such thing a STEM "worker" or STEM "researcher." That's a obtuse thing to say. Do you really think people with PhDs don't work for corporations? Really Zippy? FYI yes PhDs do work in corporations.

A monkey like you giving advice on something you don't know about. How droll.
