When I was a child, Windows 95 came out and people bought it without owning a computer, deciding they would get a household PC now.

That level of hype is biblical and it sticks.

Edit: Then of course, Bill openly said he likes Windows being pirated because it would be the OS of choice of everyone. People would only know Windows.
