The K45 I posted is just a regular desktop machine, and is designed to run XP or Vista. There is no Linux installed on it, as it's a BAREBONE that comes without a drive, CPU or memory...
It will run XP or Vista, but it doesn't come with it. Linux is pre-installed. If you have an extra copy of XP or Vista sitting around, that's fine, but if you have to buy a license, your adding between $200 and 400 to the cost, depending on which OS you buy. At that point, it's no longer a good deal at all.
