I think your experience has been unusual.

Windows has hundreds of milions direct users worldwide.

A BIG chunk of these are captured users working at Big Corp™.

I work at a company of 100k+ employees. The enterprise-managed Window machines we're issued are unbelievably bad. But I'm 100% sure if Microsoft pulled a Darth Vader "I'm altering the deal, pray I don't alter it any further" and 10x'd the price, nothing would change. Maybe at 100x (or the point of actual unaffordability).

It is so unusable the market share of Mac is increasing and google sees an opportunity with googlebooks
