I think piracy also contributed to Windows becoming the dominant home computer operating system. I've never bought Windows, when I was younger I used the pirated versions and later got a licence for free due to being a student and Microsoft having a deal with the university. If I weren't able to pirate it, I would have to use Linux and thus would probably never switch to Windows. That being said, while I still use Windows, the majority of my devices are Linux now. But the main stationary computer is still Windows.
