Tell HN: One key selling point Microsoft has over Apple: freedom of choice
Microsoft doesn't seem to push this very hard but one of the key reasons to go Windows instead of Apple is freedom of choice.
Want to buy HP? You can.
Want to put together your own machine? Yep - that's good with Microsoft.
Want to install on your existing machines? No problem, Microsoft has your back.
It's not a selling point that Microsoft pushes very hard.
