The pressure Microsoft puts on OEM`s to not sell anything that dont have Windows on it is illegal in almost every country in the world.

If its one thing antitrust regulators should poke into its the firm grip Microsoft has on OEM`s. The bundling of browsers and mediaplayers etc wouldnt be half the problem if the OEM had anything to say about what they ship on their own hardware.
