You aren't forced to by your laptop from a manufacturer that doesn't offer anything besides Windows as the OS. An attack on Microsoft because of something installed on a PC by a third party vendor is a little bit on the obtuse side. There are several places where a laptop can be purchased that doesn't have Windows installed on it, take Apple for instance, and even HP was offering freeDOS instead of windows as an option, so your complaint goes out the proverbial window from the start.
