The puzzlement is............
Who goes anywhere for support?

If it's an OEM computer, they go to the
manufacturer. Microsoft makes it VERY CLEAR
(EULA) that they are NOT responsible for
anything that goes wrong, even though the
software belongs to them, because they do
not manufacture the hardware. Otherwise,
anyone I know of, who doesn't just call
someone to "fixit", starts searching the
internet for a fix. If their computer won't
boot up, they use somebody else's computer
to search. There is more support on the
internet, right now, for Linux, than
Microsoft has ever provided for any of their
products. In all the years I have used
Microsoft products, the only support they
have ever provided me was support for
Microsoft to collect more money. I often
wonder where all the people who brag about
Microsoft support get their information. It
(the information) certainly couldn't be from
Microsoft's customers (currently know as
users, should be changed again to used).
