    They do tend to come with the computer. Plus, I have copies of   
    Win 3.1 up to XP. I have Win 98 and XP on dell original install   
    disks, and ME upgrade.   
      
    Plus, if I were to buy a refurbished Dell I could get a computer   
    and Win 7 for less than $100. Even used ones on Ebay go for   
    that.   
      
    So, $150 for OS2 in whatever name is a bit much. Esp if it's   
    only good for one computer. Now if I can put it on every   
    computer I own for one price, that's different.
