Because companies have the necessary resources to provide the kind of support a newbie requires (e.g., IBM, HP, RedHat, Canonical or SUSE are good examples for this).

By your replies I can deduce that either: a) You have never installed a OEMized version of Windows or, b) You are not very skilled user because these versions provide a wizard that only asks you no more than 5 basic questions, or c) You're simply joking...
