Whether they actually BUY it, steal it, or receive it 
as part of an OEM package, the end result is the same.
They have Windows, and not Linux or Unix.

I have seen people walk into the store and actually
look at windows on the shelf.  I actually know people
that build their own systems.

I plan to have windows on my next system as well,
simply because I need to know how to propperly use
their latest monstrosities if I plan to stay employable. ^^;;
(I picked up an OEM copy on New Egg.)

It won't be the OS I use for most tasks, but it will
be on the machine.

The OS that I will most often use will be one version
of Linux or another.  I will likely play most with
Ubuntu, and Gentoo. :P  Maybe a BSD of some sort. ^^
