Well, if dell, gateway and IBM started to sell machines with linux installed, then it would significantly hurt Microsoft too.. one huge advantage for microsoft is when you go to a computer store you only see windows..what if u see other OS too and that too in considerable percentage.. Users will buy other OS too and this would reduce the marketshare of windows
Anyway my point is Dell, IBM, and gateway nees MS and like wise Microsoft need Dell, IBM and gateway.
As well as the fine, Microsoft is to be ordered to offer a version of its Windows operating system without Windows Media Player and to encourage computer makers to provide other audiovisual software
