Shouldn't laptop manufacturers go the extra mile to help people install alternative operating systems on their laptops ? If these operating systems provide additional value to consumers, it makes their product ( the laptops ) more valuable. These manufacturers do not exist solely to make money for Microsoft.

Their margins are stupidly low, sometimes even negative, and yet Microsoft always enjoys very, very healthy margins on Windows itself. If the industry stopped racing to the bottom they'd be fine. Until then they need the Microsoft marketing money they get to survive.
