Compaq has international warranties as well. But all these brand names 
come with Windoze preinstalled.  ASUS laptops I've seen didn't have OS 
at all, there was just a driver CD. But I don't think there are a lot of 
ASUS authorized service centres around the world. What I recommend is to 
buy a world-accessible-service machine like Sony or Compaq and apply for 
money back for the OS preinstalled due to disagreement with MS license :-)
