From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
nude
adj.
Said of machines delivered without an operating system (compare {bare
metal}). ?We ordered 50 systems, but they all arrived nude, so we had to
spend an extra weekend with the installation disks.? This usage is a recent
innovation reflecting the fact that most IBM-PC clones are now delivered
with an operating system pre-installed at the factory. Other kinds of
hardware are still normally delivered without OS, so this term is
particular to PC support groups.
