“Microsoft welcomes you to its local sales office today. We are
always available to answer any questions you might have about
Microsoft products and technologies.”

“At the request of the PC makers that license Windows for
resale, Microsoft must direct you to the PC maker from which you
purchased your copy of Windows.”

“Fundamentally, you, the consumer, have a choice of operating

operating system or a PC with no operating system preinstalled at
all.”

“Microsoft Corporation is an equal opportunity employer.”
