The answer to your questions
Can be summed up in a simple phrase "We are the only caterer in town" A phrase from a Flintstones episode in which the town caterer made a mistake, but didn't care, simple saying "oh well, I'm the only caterer in town" M$ and its monopoly have everyone in their clutches. If M$ screws up, oh well, live with it, we are the only caterer in town. While its true there are other options (Mac, Linux) but the truth is windows is need to run certain things and until that changes, we will all be hostages to the whims of Redmond.
