true, for the computer savvy now, but over time it would become the norm. slowly. once digital cameras were only for the computer savvy. once a trend is started things slowly trickle down into becoming standard. although i will admit i would hate for apple to ever do this.
The only problem with making it an option is many would not understand spending extra for Windows. I know when I use to work at compusa people would say they ran Office not Windows. Could you imagine the headaches for customer support people?
"But, I didn't need Windows I have a copy of Office right here already? Now why the F%$@ won't it work you (extremely long and detailed list of colorful expletives, regarding the persons general upbringing, breeding and life philosophies)."

I always find Dell easily buckle under pressure. When my monitor broke they did nothing with my calls, saying they couldn't do anything about it. Then I kick up a fuss on the phone and they asked for my home address to send a replacement to

Just wondering, what happens when you click "Do not accept" on the EULA of new preinstalled windows machine? I have never done that before, so.. does it just shut down the computer? it is "just wondering" question

And there is a likely appearance by the BSOD some where in between.

That is exactly what happens!
Many years ago I needed a new computer for home. I used Win '95 and Solaris at work, but did not want a Win machine like everyone else. So, I ordered it with OS/2. The people at the computer store started going through a bunch of changes. First they told me I would have to pay for Windows AND OS/2. They said it was required to sell Windows with every machine. I told them 'no dice'. They had to deliver OS/2 at no additional cost or I was moving on. Eventually I did get the machine I wanted, and as I wanted it. However, I had to do some legwork to help them out. Turns out no one there had installed anything except Windows.
