No, the reasoning is like this: Linux bundles software that would cost more than $10,000 on Windows, that average users would love to have.
Since most users have Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office, and not much more, Microsoft needs to bundle more software into these products if Windows should continue to be the logical choice.
I'm fully aware that Acrobat Reader, realplayer and other programs are not included in Office or Windows, but you can download free versions of these from the internet. You cannot download a free Adobe Premiere for Windows.
It's like trying to sell a modern Microsoft car, where you have to get the airbags, the aircondition, the side mirrors etc from a 3rd party vendor afterwards, while the competition, the Linux car, has it all built-in from the start and costs much less. Most people would go for the easy solution. |
