The people who want it vs not wanting it...
The people who want it will opt for it.. There is deffinitly a market, especially in the poorer countries. They may not have 500 American to spend on an O/S.. but could have 5 bucks to spend on something worth while. Or in general, people who set up a computer with NO O/S could temporarily use the adware version until a permanent O/S is present.. IE Linux, Windows Vista (regged) etc...

Otherwise there are people who won't.. Like you or someone like me..

Realistically thought. Who cares?
