Bug description:
  Proprietary operating systems have a majority market share in the new
  desktop PC marketplace. This is a bug which Ubuntu and other projects
  are meant to fix. As the philosophy of the Ubuntu Project states, "Our
  work is driven by a belief that software should be free and accessible
  to all."

  "Ubuntu software is free. Always was, always will be. Free software gives everyone the freedom to use it however they want and share with whoever they like. This freedom has huge benefits. At one end of the spectrum it enables the Ubuntu community to grow and share its collective experience and expertise to continually improve all things Ubuntu. At the other, we are able to give access to essential software for those who couldn’t otherwise afford it – an advantage that’s keenly felt by individuals and organisations all over the world."
       * http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/our-philosophy

  Non-free software leaves users at the mercy of the software owner and
  concentrates control over the technology which powers our society into
  the hands of a few. Additionally, proprietary software stifles
  innovation, maintains artificial scarcities, and enables malicious
  anti-features such as DRM, surveillance, and other monopolistic
  practices.

  This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

  Steps to repeat:

      1. Visit a local PC store.
      2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software. 

  What happens:

  Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have a proprietary operating
  system like Windows or Mac OSX. In the rare cases that they come with
  a GNU/Linux operating system or no operating system at all, the
  drivers and BIOS may be proprietary.

  What should happen:

  A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software.
