People would rather pay $50 more for Windows to make sure that the software and hardware they buy will work with it. When you buy a Windows pc you buy compatibility.


I like how you make it sound like there are no hardware compayibility issues with Windows. You must not have used Windows for very long.

There is no conspiracy that keeps Linux from being sold. The problem is that it doesn't have enough selling points as a desktop OS.


It also does not have a multimillion dollar marketing machine behind it.

It doesn't have a commercial software library and Windows isn't expensive enough to justify that loss.


I fail to see how the lack of commercial software library is a loss for the consumer. The consumer don't care if the software is commercial or not as long as it does what they want.
