If Windows were free what are the odds the market would force OEMs to do that anyway to shave a percentage point off their prices/profit margins? I'm betting near 100% and only premium machines wouldn't have crapware.
Yeah I think they would do it anyway, regardless of Windows cost. What's interesting is that so far, they don't when it comes to Linux installations. Not that there is that much crapware they can actually install for Linux, but they could potentially bundle Chrome and stuff like that if they really wanted.
