This is why having OEMs locked up was so advantageous to Microsoft in the first place. They were able to leverage the desktop monopoly they already had to place a clearly inferior product (at the time) onto users' desktops, at the expense of companies who were already in that market.
Maybe you might claim that IE6 is a superior browser now and they deserve the monopoly (for whatever reason), but they gained it through illegitimate means, regardless of how people like yourself twist the facts.
