If you're reading this congratulations on your new laptop!!! A great initiative by Shahbaz Sharif - Whatever people might call it. Regardless, it is an unprecedented event in history!
So, your new laptop comes with Linux operating system - UBUNTU - The most popular and visually appealing one.
So it's fun to play with it for a while. The advantages being
1- No risk of viruses
2- Apps like chrome, firefox, VlC and about every thing that is free out there has been made compatible with Ubuntu and can be found in its neat appstore
3- It's completely free ! That is the reason why the govt installed it in the first place - A Windows copy on a laptop would have costed them an extra Rs. 10000 per laptop atleast and this is a very wise move to keep the cost low and so that they can give the laptops to maximum number of people within their set budget.

Update 1:
If you're experiencing Blue screen during installation of windows again and again ,then you must've forgotten to follow step 3b and didnot change the SATA mode to ATA from AHCI.. Do this now and try installing windows again.. If that doesnt work then you will have to get Windows 7 Enterprise version DVD and that has been reported to solve the issue by some people...
