From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [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.
