Getting a PC pre-loaded with Windows is not being "blackmailed" inot using
Windows. 

Maybe it's too late to break the monopoly. The rest of the OS world should
have woken up earlier and done something way back when instead of quibbling
about it now. It wasn't user friendly then, and they didn't market to the
average schmoe - because they didn't expect the average schmoe to be using
computers on such a scale as it turned out they would. Maybe they should have
had a little more foresight than they did. But I'm not blaming them -
sometimes things just explode in unexpected ways .Hell - M$ nearly missed the
internet revolution and they haven't caught up yet.
