Compulsory Windows purchasing by way of PC bundles is one of the biggest hurtles to alternative OS adoption. Some people have been able to fight it: "Reading the Slashdot article about Dave Mitchell from Great Britain, who got a 47 pounds refund from Dell for returning his copy of Windows was an inspiration for me to check, if it is possible in Poland, too. This is my success story."

...just buy laptop with Linux pre-installed. In Poland it's much easier than for example in UK, from my experience, to find off the shelve laptop with Linux pre-installed. I have bought 2 Acer laptops, with Linux and Asus Eee PC recently in Poland and I'm very satisfied. Of course I don't use Linpus Linux and Xandros, but it's just a matter of re-installing with your favourite distro.
I never buy any hardware with Windows operating system because I don't have to.
