Problem with making Windows a paid extra is that Micro$oft will no
doubt recruit Maureen Lipman or somebody to do an ad campaign saying
"do you realise that if you buy Windows at the same time as your
machine you will save £xxx or more - don't leave it too late." and the
net result will be that everybody just goes for the "option" anyway,
which will just lead to more grief for the consumer in the long term.

I suppose Canonical wouldn't throw a few hundred thousand pound in our
direction to do an alternative ad campaign on TV informing people that
they have a choice?  No?  Didn't think so... :-(
