Look at your PC or Laptop that you have in front of you, most probably bought the machine with Windows, unless you bought the machine with NO operating system. Load a Linux partion on it and your computer won't boot anymore, see how far your warrenty, with the company you bought it from, gets you. I'm sure that HP, Sony, Toshiba ect. only supports Windows or the operating system that came with the machine.
Someone doesn't have their facts straight.

This is according to PcWorld magazine. http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/006799.html

And your argument about HP, Sony, Toshiba, etc. not supporting a machine that does not have the preinstalled OS is crap. All of those companies are hardware manufacturers, and couldn't care less which OS is installed. If your video card dies on a Toshiba laptop, they replace it. Period. Of course they don't support the OS, because they didn't make it. If you have a software issue with one of those machines, they almost always just get you to restore the machine to factory default and call it a day.
