Osman, I would actually like YOU to be a little clearer about YOUR points.
In what way was Dave full of bull or being opportunistic? How does his
message show his incompetence? I'm not at all sure of your
point...honestly, this is not a flame.

As for the installed software at stores, all reputable dealers and
hardware vendors pay a license fee to do that. Do you really think
Micropuke for example loads Windows on all those machines for free? 

In any case, why are you so gung-ho to defend software piracy? I know I
like getting paid for what I do...don't you?! The guy selling his computer
is trying to pump up the price on something that's not worth as much as
he's trying to get by tossing in pirate software. That's the REAL
bullshit...plain and simple!

Cheers,

Keep an open mind, but don't let the wind blow freely through it.
