Why on earth would you pay vast sums of money to use software that only 
provides features that you don't actually need?

I'm not denying your claim, only that it makes no rational sense. I've 
seen Windows running on plenty of PCs in various retail stores. M&S had 
the Windows 2000 logo obviously visible on the touchscreens of their 
checkout machines too. And don't even get me started on the video 
adverts I saw on London Euston all proclaiming that "STOP 0x00000001E 
has occurred"...
