IANAL, but I'm fairly certain that any company that tried to tell you 
what software you could and couldn't run on your computer as conditions 
of warranty wouldn't have a leg to stand on when it came time to claim 
on a hardware fault. That just reeks of a clause that couldn't actually 
be enforced by law. (Plus unless it was the hard drive that died, you 
could always throw it in another machine and chuck Windows on it to take 
back for the warranty claim ;-) )
