Since most buy a computer to run Microsoft software, why not buy the computer Microsoft builds?
That is similar to the argument we sellers used to put M$ right where it is. We used to tell the customer: Look, I know that WordPerfect is good and cheap, but who created Windows? M$, right? Then, who do you think will make its products be more stable and friendly under Windows? Of course that the company who created the OS. So, you better grab Word!

If such a computer was bundled with MSN internet services, it could put a lot of computer companies out of business.

Yeah, Telmex put a lot of small businesses in serious trouble down here when it started to sell computers with the Internet service included. Most of the people thought that the Internet was free if they purchased the PC from Telmex.
