*some exceptions.

which are ???

 

 

Some big-name manufacturers offer either windows or linux (such as Dell), enterprise-grade hardware (rack-mountable, blades, etc) also have linux/unix variants options, some netbooks offer the choice between window and linux also, most clones (no brand-name, just assembled components) are usually sold without an operating system - it's expected the user will install their own, usually a pirated copy.

Overall they represent a very, very small share of the market (the instances where the customer choses linux) but at least the option is now available. Up until a few years ago, Linux/other Unix variants were only available for enterprise hardware.
