How many PCs are sold with Windows on it because there is no other choice that end up running Linux? I know I have several machines that originally had Windows that are now running Linux.

Add three more systems at my home network. Not to mention the ten systems from Dell I saw a couple months ago at the local computer store. The guy was wiping them clean and installing Linux.

How much money is M$ making from false sales? I bet that profit margin would diminish if they were taken into account.
