@eriefisher: good point;
Several years ago Microsoft was forced by EU law to make the user explicitely choose a web browser from a set of alternaives.
We have EU elections soon. Which party would promise to create a level playing field for operation systems in a similar way?
An idea would be to give the customer the right to ask Microsoft for a refund if he or she uninstalls Windows.
@eugen-b: … Forced is not the right word, it was a result of a global negotiation and reciprocal compromises (transcontinentale)
