I sort of agree with you, except that t seems to me that most places you buy computers
sell them with Microsoft software pre-installed. (Unless they're selling Macs, obv.) So
a) the average computer user thinks that Windows is the best option (otherwise why would
computer manufacturers always ship with it), b) the average computer user gets used to
using Windows, and c) the average computer user pays extra for their system because they
think they need Windows with it.

If computers were sold without an OS, and the customer given the choice of buying Windows
or having a Linux distro on a free CD, especially if they were buying from one of these
places that'll come to your house and set it all up for you, I think Linux would be doing
much better. And the consumers would get a better deal.
