What part of the market is or was ever not fair or free, ignoramus?

Everyone has always been free to buy, sell, develop or install any 
computer operating system.

It's not Microsoft's fault the world chose Windows.

Your employer demands Windows: "I buy a lot of Windows PC's to use as 
test stations, and I've been buying refurbished XP machines and have no 
plans to change."

So does your household, and probably you, too.

You whiny idiot.
