your chance to buy an HP desktop without MS Windows!

Canada Computers is selling refurb desktops without MS Windows.  A 
reasonable dual-core Athlon 64 is $284.99 today (after today, $299.99).

I've bought "debranded" refurb HPs without a MS Windows license.  They 
worked well.  I've never seen branded ones without the license.

Without MS Windows, it is tough to apply firmware updates.  HP supplies 
them as MS Windows executables, not as DOS ones.  Grrr.
