I have been desperately attempting to stay out of this OS debate, but
I had to comment on this one. Most people that use MS products didn't
buy them. They were included as preloads on the systems they bought,

playing field, the results would be much different. Remember, the
best technology is not always the most popular. Marketing 101.
