almost no-one buys windows software from MS, it comes preinstalled, mostly by manufacturers, but often by resellers. Any analysis of Linux SW uptake considerations that doesn't take into account the games MS plays with distributors is seriously lacking.

I would think some the hardware vendors would promote FOSS more. They
can benefit from the hardware sales. I can see why MS hates FOSS, they
are almost a pure software vendor and FOSS hurts their sales.
