It would only seem weird if you're buying a computer to run *nix and are 
forced, along with anyone else buying computer hardware to buy Windows in 
order for the OEM to continue selling Windows products.

Between forced purchase agreements, strong-arming vendors, forced 
incompatibility with Microsoft and alternative OSes, and Office bundling 
agreements, Microsoft made the most of a monopoly position in the software 
space.
