Personally, I'm waiting for them to offer BeOS as well. I keep hearing this, but haven't f0ound it to be so. We just ordered a machine from gateway with no OS, right off their web page. Not all modelse have this as a listed option, but they're there. In this case, it was a dual P-II machine. >From talking to the rep, it would be possible to order other machines without >OS as well.
