M$ has a right to engage in any deals it wants. It's still possible to
buy a PC with no Bill Tax. The problem is very few consumos want to,
and of those that do, they really are intent on putting bootleg M$
software on it.

I hold Windows and Office in as total contempt as anyone, but the
problem isn't that it is rammed down people's throats. American
consumos and small and medium businesses will use nothing else, because
they really are very lazy and not all that bright.
