And if the HD failed does that mean you have no warrenty?  It is
clearly nonsense for any company to claim you can't install another OS
on a computer.

Certainly Asus has no issue with it, but if you send it for warrenty you
have to give them permission to restore the drive to factory defaults
if required to do their diagnositcs (so backups are your responsibility
before sending it for service).
