I would guess that its virtually impossible to get a PC without Microsoft Software on it. Anyone here got a PC without a Microsoft Operating System on it? Exactly. Microsoft have completely dominated the market, and only Servers seem to run on Linux... theres simply no support for anything but Windows in the games markets or other software sectors (except a handful of first-person shooters and strategy games). Its very unlikely that you've ever tried anything else other than Microsoft either. Neither have I (except that time I sat in front of the school linux machine and flicked the mouse before running away scared ), but how do we know we are genuinely happy with the software If we know no better. Because of the Microsoft Monopoly we'll never be offered the best.

But at the end of the day, I don't really have any problems with buying their software (I'm not getting an X-Box because I don't see a lot of games on it that aren't on or going to be on the PC - but the same can be said of the PS2 as well...), but I think the real hate for Microsoft is from the PC market... Dumbassed questionaires aren't winning them any fans, and those same PC cinics are always going to be the ones to point and laugh at Microsoft's idoicy.
