The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003):

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.
