Nah, MS work slightly differently to that - they're not going to just hand
out money to anyone for installing Windows (Terry, you got any offers
lately?)

They've got a much bigger bargaining tool: Windows itself.

Can you imagine what would happen if Gateway couldn't sell computers with
Windows?


Now you know why they're so shitscared.
