This somewhat goes against the natuarl order of things,
which I think is:

1)	Buy a computer with an OS preinstalled
2)	Use it for weeks or months
3)	Hear about another OS
4)	"Test Drive" the other OS
5)	Make an erase/keep decision about the new OS
5a)	If keep, make an erase/keep decision about the
	preinstalled OS
