       There is that. However, it seems that Windows is perhaps the most 
common OS out there, both in the developed world (legit copies, mostly) and 
the developing world (pirated copies, mostly. Makes sense, since WinXP seemed 
to sell for $50 through pirates on the streets before it was even officially 
released...and that recurred, at minimum, throughout most of Asia, for 
example.), so it follows.
