Yup. And what would be the point of buying a PC without Windows? More than 99%
of the market wants Windows. Even when Microsoft was forced to allow
manufacturers to provide the option of another OS, people still wanted
Windows.

it's actually around 90% these days and dropping. apple's sales are
outpacing the market, big time. if you look at specific markets (i.e.,
photography, graphic arts), mac market share is much, much higher.
adobe sells about 50% mac, 50% windows.

... but you can certainly install whatever you want on it, including
windows (which many people do), linux and bsd natively and most anything
else via vmware (os/2, nextstep, beos, etc.).

Will Apple sell you a Mac without an OS?

will dell sell you a pc without an os?

They will offer you a choice of operating systems. See for example
