Then you get a copy of the OS yourself and install it yourself.

Looks like a good unit as long as you are OK with the inherent limitations of the screens viewing angle and slightly uneven backlighting. These issues are not severe and many people are fine with them, in fact, I know I would be.

Looks like a wiener to me! Don't forget to tell us what you think when you get it...
