do people actually believe guys like Steve Ballmer and Rob Enderle?
if yes, then it reflects extremely poorly on their judgment and education.
Nope, some people think Microsoft made their computers and Microsoft must supply all the programs that get put on their computers.
People used to think it was because Microsoft forced Windows on OEMs to include with all new PCs, but that is only part of the story....
The main culprit is a flawed education system. This is teaching children "computing" by training them in how to use Microsoft Office... What good is that to anyone ?
Imagine how much more money your kids schools would have to spend on the kids, if it did not have to send money to Microsoft... and even with a vast discount, it is still money that all schools need.
