That is the choice of the seller of the PC and no one else. No one forces those companies to use Windows, they choose to do so.

Again, this needs to apply to ALL operating systems sold/packaged with computers, or none of them. Mac OSX/Windows/ETC

Additionally, no one forces someone to purchase a prebuilt computer, all parts/peices/etc are available to the general public. Given a bit of time most people could figure out what parts to buy, how to install and get running.

I see no reason why one company should be forced to do something, and others don't have to.
