In my view, that's unfair to the early versions of Windows, at least up to Win7.
Sure, they were charging a hefty sum for the OS but it was the best choice for a home and even office user. They used some dirty tactics on the business side of things but the end user was never so blatantly abused. Nowadays, they still charge for the OS but you also get all these ads shoved in your face.
Wish I could convince my non programmer friends to switch to Linux.
