It's called big business. Nothing to stop you formatting the PC, or
buying the parts yourself.

Except a boot system that needs proprietary microsoft code to boot.

Its called UEFI.

How come it doesn't stop me booting linux on my UEFI bios machine then?
You should stop commenting on windows unless you actually buy it as all
