>>Sure there are Linux and other operating systems but I bet most of the reason for people buying a computer without the operating system is to steal one.<< This is a bogus argument. It's victimizing the innocent rather than punishing the guilty. Sure, it's the easiest way for MSFT to accomplish its goal, but it's unethical and illegal, and therefore stupid. >>Microsoft was the victim.<< Netscape was the victim. >>Microsoft is also the victim of the USA government's stupid anti-trust and anti-monopoly laws and envious, ignorant, population.<< Microsoft is the victim of corporate executives who either didn't listen to their lawyers or didn't ask their lawyers whether what they were doing was legal. Two legal maxims come to mind: 1. If it seems too good to be true, it's probably not true. 2. Little pigs get fat, big pigs get slaughtered.
