AFAIK, Windows is almost everywhere because of Microsoft Tax == OEM 
contracts that require Windows to be preinstalled on every PC leaving 
the showroom.

I think if Windows was a good enough product they would not need to 
bundle it with computer systems to keep market share. Linux does not 
need to be bundled to gain market share but Microsoft has this idea that 
the only way to get their product(s) to have the most market share is by 
illegally using market leverage.
