they actually make money on many of those windows preinstalls due to all the bullshit they get paid to put on.

    The fun part is that they can bundle an equal amount of bloatware on linux for even more revenue.

    The actually funny part is that they can't. Most of the bloatware is not available on Linux because it doesn't support it.

    I'm not sure what you mean... linux "supports" bloatware just fine, it's just that we don't have much of that kind of software (yet), and i'm sure they could get it all to run through winboat or somesuch if they really wanted to.
