I think this already in place, contractually, here in the US. A manufacturer does not receive the lowest possible price for Windows unless they agree to install Windows on every PC they produce.

When faced with the choice between paying a higher price for Windows on 99.99% of their machines or saving a very few of their customers a few dollars, they really don't have a choice.
