Who isnt going to go along with it?

Gotta be like 90% of people have never installed an OS because Windows was already on their PC when they bought it.

To them, its part of buying a PC. They don't consider the OS a separate purchase.

If they make this move they're banking on people not noticing until after they've bought a shiny new PC. After that most people will suffer the cost because they already own the PC and its just "easier."
