It is certainly different in different countries; I can only speak for 
what I see in my own area.  I don't see a lot of new PCs sold without 
some license of some kind; Dell Precision workstations and PowerEdge 
servers are available with Linux preinstalled, and PowerEdge servers can 
be purchased without any OS.  Most PC manufacturers here have deals with 
Microsoft to prevent them selling PCs without OS.
