All they need is a friendly rack of software with a big 'Operating Systems' placard above it, and someone on the till with the brains to ask every customer going out with a PC - 'Did you buy your OS?' Of course Microsoft won't want Vista on a shelf at £150 next to for example Suse Professional, which last time I looked in PC World was going for £89.99. It will show up how much M$ are overcharging for their bloatware. That's without even mentioning the free distros, which could be at the POS. As in my previous email PC World's Tech Guys (and their ilk) can install OSs for customers without the knowledge. Maybe then they'd start selling PCs that their OSs actually have all the drivers for....... but that's a whole new argument.
