Indeed, you don't normally have a choice when buying machines retail: you get to buy Windows XP and pay the Microsoft Tax. That's where the Google figures come in.
If Microsoft really was into consumer choice, you could pick XP for full price or 98 at a discount. Wonder what the comparative sales figures would be... but that's another column!
And nobody could possibly think Lindows was Windows - interesting that MS is worried enough about that to send in the shock troops in Europe.
