Haha, Red Hat, Apple and Novell all ranked above Microsoft. Actually, I'm way surprised to see Red Hat as high up as they are.

If microsoft counted all of the OS's included with Dell and HP it would win.

If microsoft counted all of the OS's included with Dell and HP it would win.

It's not just how many products they sell, it's quality too, and the quality of the product, so no, they wouldn't win and I'm also pretty sure that they DID take into consideration the fact that Microsoft owns a monopoly.
