While they may offer BIOS upgrades for other OS there is always a risk re-flashing the BIOS, in that you could turn the notebook into an expensive floor tile. Most of the no-OS laptops have a demo version loaded, so if that runs OK its likely that loading a full version would be OK. Needs to be factored into the price you pay. I was once IT Manager of a medium size company, and all OS and applications from Microsoft were paid via a volume licence. Its likely that this is the reason for no OS, as they would not want to pay an annual charge for a laptop they no longer owned.	godfather (25)
