No one who doesn't know anything about installing windows is gonna buy a laptop without os or with freedos, so you can deduct those too.

The real choice for probably 99% of consumers is between windows and mac.

The point was that end users extremely rarely need to worry about what windows flavour they need. The laptop already comes pre-installed with the correct flavour OS for that laptop.

    I agree, if not by mistake the cheaper FreeDOS, buyers will select the windows preinstall I presume. I was checking if all machines come with windows. Clearly not.

    With what frequency they choose what offering, is a harder question to answer and would give a different distribution. MacOS would be higher, and without os and FreeDOS close to zero.
