That's a very good analogy.

How would you react if you went to a restaurant, and they gave you uncooked and part-cooked ingredients, then charged you the full price?

You'd never go back there, right?

If it weren't for the fact that Windows is pre-installed on 99.9999% of home PCs, they would lose a huge chunk of the home PC market.

If more people had to choose and install their operating systems, more people would make different choices. But Windows has that huge audience captive, and no-one treats a captive audience with respect.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
