It would be interesting to see from those 2% how much was pre-installed when they bought it, such as laptops and ultrabooks. Usually, it acts as a justification that "Yes, we bought it and the OS came with it.". Actually, the new ultrathin I am about to purchase will come with it. But, I do not expect its duration to last that long as Windows 9 will then be installed over it.
