The customers do not even make the decision of buying Microsoft Windows operation system

Oh pish posh - that's just not true, not in any way, shape, or form. If we're talking about "regular people" buying computers (mom, dad, etc), they absolutely choose Windows when they go to the "computer store", play around on a new PC, and walk out with it. How can you act as if they had no choice? The Apple Store opened almost a decade ago yet these people chose Windows as their OS instead. If we're talking "enterprise/company employees", it's likely that their base OS was pre-chosen for them but, that said, at some point a higher up IT person chose Windows because of Apple's choices 20+ years ago w/ respect to having servers and networking being first class citizens of the OS/environment.

You can hate MSFT all you want but to act as though, 91% of the time, people did not make a decision is just willfully ignorant or foolish.
