Other way round. They all started selling linux installed machines recently.
(Or at least Dell did. Don't know the time frame of the others)

And I highly doubt that MS pays people to sell their software. That's not
exactly a good way to do business. Windows pre-installed on a PC is cheaper
than windows bought seperatly. Means the retailers can get more of a profit
margin, which makes share holders very happy.
