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.

I think that's a good idea, offering basic dual-boot installs as an option. They couldn't possibly offer every single Linux distro, but a couple of the most popular would be sufficient.
At the least they should offer pre-partitioning so customers don't have to re-install Windows when they get home in order to dual-boot.
