>>> Sal, does the consumer have a choice fo OSs? In other words, can someone buy a
computer, and use an OS other than Windows? That was the crux of the original
debate. The answer is YES.

The way you frame it, yes, one has a choice. But once again, people do not buy OSes in and of themselves. They buy them because they are vehicles for applications. The applications are why people buy computers, Reg, not OSes. So if even one single application that I want to run is only available for MSFT OSes, then I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE, unless if I decide that I will not be using the applications for which I was buying the computer for in the first place.
