Could you give me some stats? I wouldn't expect a population to go and spend a lot of money on a CD to install Windows onto a marginally cheaper machine
My guess is that people will get their Windows install media from the same place they get their Blu-Ray rips.
But at least the sale counts as a Linux sale, which is positive.
I've also seen people that replace Mac OS X with Windows or Linux on their Apple laptops.
I completely forgot about people installing Windows on their Macs, even though anecdotally this is very common.
