Wonder what that'll do to their AlternateOS option.
http://www.hp.com/
Then Small and medium business, Desktops & Workstations.
Or one can click on

In Desktops one can select a general category, then near
the top one can configure Window and alternate (either
FreeDOS or Linux, depending on price range).
Workstations are a little dodgier; Linux for Workstations
is at the lower right, but I'm having trouble finding
Workstations (such as xw4400) which can be sold without
WinXP. They do sell an install kit, though.
