And furthermore, if you missed my prior post, Quantex Microsystems has for many years offered the Corel WordPerfect Suite as the only preloaded application suite. One company does it. One choice.

So you admit that there is a choice, meaning that Microsoft cannot force everyone to offer only their product. This means that the only reason that there is only one choice is that no one else choses to offer the consumer another choice.

But with the #1 seller of PCs to consumers (Gateway), and the #1 seller of PCs worldwide (Dell), there is no choice. And it's Microsoft's fault.

Interesting. You admit that there's another choice but then complain that you want to go someplace else that doesn't offer that same choice and complain because they don't. If you want that choice then go to the place that offers it. Period. If enough other people wanted that choice, which they obviously don't, then other dealers would offer it. Vote With Your Dollars.
