Why is it so hard for OEM's such as Dell or HP to simply sell their hardware without Microsoft pre-installed? There really needs to be a crackdown on these Microsoft/OEM deals that preclude all other operating systems. The majority of consumers have no idea that they have a choice, and it's because 95% of computers are sold with Windows. It's time for the consumer to be offered real choices.
