>> It is also unfair by itself that MS OSes will boot without requiring the user to fiddle with the system firmware, but non-MS OSes won't >Unfair? You're talking about systems that come with Windows pre-installed. Of course these systems are going to be configured for booting Windows out of the box. I think it more _accurate_ to have said "of course these systems are going to be configured to boot nothing but Windows out of the box", which is ... drum roll please.. anti-competitive. Facially, and blatantly anti-competitive.
