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.

"So if I walked in and said I wanted Ubuntu pre-installed they'd do it for me?
I doubt it; why cripple a brand-new computer?
" Exactly - why cripple it with Windows, even Win7.
if they want to make the customer happy, they'd give the Windows Refund there in the store and help the user put Linux on it. if they really don't care about customer satisfaction, well...that's a different story.
