I'm sorry, but if your NT server is crashing after 2 days, your incompetent as an administrator.
So NT is a hard os to set up then. Will linux crash after a couple of days? No. A bad linux administrator may get lousy performance, but it will keep going...
Restricting spam isn't a free speech issue. Want to say something on the net? Put up a webpage! Make sure the search engines pick it up, and anybody interested will find your site.
There is such a thing as the "free silence" issue too. I am free to not listen to the "free speakers" out there.
Bacteria infiltration could concentrate in the middle if the middle contained something bacteria like. Perhaps the outer edges was ruined by heating as the meteorite fell trough the atmosphere.
All genes are in all cells, sure. They moved in some extra foot genes - which were active. Probably easier than activating the existing foot genes there.
Several os'es means competition, and competition accelerate improvement. Open os'es are getting better than commercial alternatives, but we don't want to stop there. And duplicated work don't waste that much time when the competitor is open.:-)
I know you can't order one without windows, but how about ordering one without a harddisk? If they wonder why, just say you have broken the screen or something, but you have everything you need on the existing hardisk. Then order an "extra" harddisk a little later. Some notebooks have room for an extra drive. Or say you want a spare one.
Paying a refund to, say 1% of the users won't make the windows deal unprofitable because of refund cost alone, but the extra work may make them reconsider.
And imagine a company with lots of machines doing this. I don't know of any large-scale linux installations, but there sure are banks with large os2 installations around. Then there are those who upgrade to newer machines, and install their old licenced windows onto the new machines. (Legal if you bought windows without machine once, and remove windows from the old machines before selling them used.)

You can specify DOS instead, but I wouldn't want to buy DOS either. Not that it matters to me,
I don't buy whole machines anyway.

If vendors gets lots of returned software that
they have to pay for anyway - guess what happens?
They'll reject such deals with Microsoft.
A single small vendor can probably not do it, but
they'll cooperate on this if all of them get
returns.
