6. No one force to buy MSFT products. IBM and all bought MSFT products because their customer want it. IBM and load OS/2 or Linux if they want to but no one will take it.

Yes, it used to be that there were those that whined that they couldn't buy a computer without getting Windows on it. Now there are literally dozens of companies that will sell you a pre-installed Linux computer. Of course, these people just move on to some other argument without even mentioning that their point is now moot.

I bet whoever it was a few months ago that was whining about not being able to buy a Gateway without Works or Office on it is still whining.
