Buying Dell laptop without Windows license (Score 1)

I'm just about to buy myself a new laptop, and since I never use Windows, I wasn't all that interested in paying for the license either. So I contacted Dell asking them what could be done, and after some time, I got an offer from them where they reduced the price with $80 since I wasn't interested in the Windows license.

I have made some notes about this in my blog. (here, and followup here)

I hope that this might be of use to others as well!
