In DOS 3.x and higher, you must enter a drive letter when formatting (e.g. C:>\Format A.
However, in DOS 2.x, typing C:>\Format will simply format the default (current) drive.................

Not sure if it was greed per ce. The PC effectively became an open platform from a hardware viewpoint, so virtually any company could make hardware that could be integrated into a PC build by anyone that could wield a screwdriver with some reasonable degree of competence. This in turn pushed down the price and also introduced some instabilities and compatibility issues. In addition, buying/acquiring an operating system was and still is quite straightforward.I only used PC’s because the CNC machines I programmed used a PC to control them.
Apple had the market but Steve Jobs was greedy on price which allowed the PC market to expand and manufacturers bought pc because they were cheaper.
I still shudder at c:\format etc etc etc, oh yes I remember the good old days, not!
I think it will be more accurate to say that Apple include the cost of the OS in the hardware purchase price, while Microsoft allow you to separate the purchase of the hardware from the purchase of the OS.Don't forget you don't pay for software on Macs and haven't done for a while - this has to be paid for somehow so it's understandable Apple machines are more expensive.
Obviously clever marketing means they can drive the price.

This is also one of the reasons why Apple hardware is more expensive than similar-spec PC hardware.
Getting back to Win10. My laptop update to 1803 freezes at 81%. Tried it twice, gets stuck at the same point. Somewhat annoying. It's an oldish HP machine that originally had Win7. I did the free 'upgrade' to Win10 a couple of years ago and did a clean install of Win10 last year.
Thinking of taking out the HDD and fitting an SSD to give it a bit of a refresh.
