 >>>  So, the customer is paying for hardware that he has, but cannot use it.

And this is where you miss the point Leif.

The customer may have the hardware but he _hasn't_ paid for it. Although it may
be frustrating to think that you have a feature that you can't use you should
take comfort in one very simple fact.  If they were not able to offer a range of
models (and therefore prices) _without_ some form of software and/or hardware
slugging then _all_ of the models would cost more. This is not a possibility but
a certainty.

I think practices such as my having to pay for Win98 on a new PC when I want to
run Linux are far more unfair.
