I think I saw the message from Poindexter that you're talking about.  It sounds like he was referring to shops that would build a PC for you according to your specs and include a Windows license at their cost.  However, typically I like to build my PC myself..  Usually people charge labor costs to assemble a computer for you.  I'm capable of assembling a PC myself, so I usually prefer to just buy the parts and assemble it myself.  The money I save in labor could be counted toward Windows, I suppose.

At any rate, I still don't know why buying a copy of Windows would seem weird.. It's just another thing to factor in when you're buying your computer components.
