Tell that to your boyfriend when its the crabs..

An UPGRADE to IMPROVE your OS is not the same as crabs.

If its Mcrosoft, it is.

Funny how it's the most popular.

Crabs are very common, too.

But we choose our OS.

You don't.
It comes with the computer you bought.

And that is because MS, when Gates & Ballmer were in control, threatened
& cajoled OEMs to install MS Windows & /only/ MS Windows on their
computers. They even tried to stop OEMs selling "bare bones" PCs, on the
pretext that "pirated versions of Windows" could be installed.
It's all documented online, as Google search would show.



Its also rubbish.
M$ had discounts available for manufacturers that licensed all their
machines they did for windows.
A bit like apple licenses its OS on all the machines it makes.
At no point did they try and force anyone to stop selling bare bones.
