Why does their OS comes stock in most companies computers? Because they believe MS is the right choice to provide service and/or sell their products. Simple as that.

I am not going to get into that, but yes MS is the primary choice. Lets just hope that if someone tries to make a third OS Microsoft doesn't get in their way. Microsofts primary creations such as IE, Outlook or even Live are even considered the best of their class. They kind of force their way into your life, for instance: If you watch netflix on your computer eventually you will come to up a roadblock of not being able to watch the same program you can watch anywhere else on your own browser without downloading MS Silverlight. Its making me want to watch movies on my PS3 more than my laptop these days, because when I am on the go I just like to watch that. My point in short is they depend too much on third party.

I call that excellent networking, all the parties are satistfied with their decisions and that's what keep'em coming.

Your MSphobia is not the company's problem I might say.

I stand by my original point that MS is putting out some good deals regardless of how I feel about them. I have no phobia of buying a Microsoft product, I consider myself an avid Zune owner since I've owned nearly every version. Yes, I don't trust Microsoft as a company, but that doesn't mean I wouldnt buy a product of theirs its good.

Ok. That changes my opinion. Not that it matters to you.

Damn it not a single game I would have bought is not sold out lol
