They only care about Microsoft because it just happens to be the standard,
and it just happens to be the standard because it runs on x86. People seem
to be more interested in what they perceive as standards rather than the
merits of any particular software or hardware product. It's the old herd
mentality - they'll put up with any old OS as long as they think they're
compatible. How else can you explain Win 3.1 having an 80% market share back
in its heyday?
