Microsoft: Don’t Sell PCs Without Operating Systems

Microsoft has urged UK PC vendors not to give customers the opportunity to buy a PC without a pre-installed operating system. Supplying base systems, or ‘naked PCs’, is a missed opportunity, according to Michala Alexander, Microsoft’s head of anti-piracy. Writing in Microsoft’s Partner Update magazine, which is distributed to computer dealers, Alexander estimated that 5 percent of computers sold in the UK in 2006 would not include an operating system.
