[Lilux-help] Laptop without Win in Luxembourg

Hello, My laptop just died (RIP) (it never worked correctly anyways) so I decide I could (try to) buy another one but it has to be without OS or with linux (Ubuntu) but absolutely without Win. So I went to a shop where I know they sell desktop bare and asked ... and they told me ALL the laptops are delivered to them with Win pre-installed. So I asked if it was possible to remove Win out and ask for the refund to either them or Microsoft and they told me : noway (looking at me as if I came out of outer space). Is one of you knowing where I could get a sample of this strange beast cause I need one for yesterday ;-) and ordering one over the net will make me wait. Thanks for the help. Cheers, Guilain
