      No they did not. Every PC owner had a choice to buy a PC 
without Windows or uninstall Windows if it was already 
installed. They could have used Linux or some other OS.

       Please feel free too show me how they're switching to OS 
X. Macs are just PCs now that run Windows themselves to that is 
no indication of how successful OS X is. I've been hearing this 
same drivel for years and yet OS X market share has been between 
3%-5% of the worldwide base. Now if OS X reaches 20% of the 
market, I would be shocked.
