That is absolutely not true. You cannot buy Windows 98 without a web browser. Most companies that sell PC's don't even offer other options for operating systems.

For most people who buy a computer, they've bought what they think of as "a computer". Evaluating and choosing products never really comes into play. It arrives at your door with all the software you need, and all that software came from Microsoft.
