More often the choice was spend more money on a Mac or which brand of
Windows machine do you want. Add to the fact that very few of the sales
floor staff are very knowledgeable so the less informed buyer is often
steered into buying Windows.

Also, in business "buying IBM" has often been replaced by "buying
MS/Windows/Office" without any real analysis of needs, costs, etc.
