No, not at all like an iPhone.

If there was a line of PC's with Windows installed, like the iPhones, it wouldn't have been a problem.

Not long ago, it was literally impossible to buy a PC in regular stores, without it having Windows pre-installed.

Not to mention the fact that computer manufacturers who offered Linux instead still had to pay Microsoft a Windows royalty for each machine.
