Well, I spent FIVE MINUTES looking at Dell's site, and my findings are...

I can't figure out, by following any links from dell.com through
Home/Home Office or Small Business, how to buy a desktop without Windows.
I looked at Dimension and Opti-Plex models.

I did do a Google search for "dell without windows" and got some
random page inside of Dell's site which offers systems without
Windows, but they're not the same as the models being sold
through the front-page.
