We all know that Microsoft doesn't actually make computers. It makes the software, and then lets an almost infinite amount of manufacturers build computers that can run its software. These manufacturers often make a mess of things, delivering computers filled to the brim with crapware. What would happen if Microsoft made computers? Well, for one, they would be void of crapware. Two, they would help users install the software they want before leaving the store - including software from competitors.

Once they get into the hardware game themselves they will start charging oems more and more for licensing driving most out of business = more hardware sales at the ms stores and more control. Eventually youll have 2 or 3 oems besides ms and they will be paying HUGE licensing fees wich will only make their pc's more expensive and driving customers to ms for the cheaper pc leaving everyone with ONE company to go to for their hardware and software. so they will have a monopoly on both hardware and software in the end.
