Could there be a law to protect the free choice of operating system?

If someone has hard data on how many computers sold in the EU are
bundled with MS Windows, lobbying the DG for Competition
<http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/competition/index_en.htm> might be the way to
go. I am afraid there's virtually nil chance to get a general ban on
bundling software with hardware, but there is a possibility that
Microsoft may be forbidden to bundle their OS with hardware due to
their de facto monopoly.
Cheers,
