That isn't reality, it is plain wrong.

1: PCs DO NOT come with search engines "installed"

2: They do come pre-configured to link to certain search engines.

3: When they are pre-configured as in (2:) it is almost never GOOGLE. 
Windows machines come pre-configured to link to MS's search engine, 
which is NOT Google .

4: Users have to go out of their way to use Google, either by changing 
the default search engine link or by downloading Firefox which defaults 
to a Google link.
