If you've ever owned a pc, you might know how expensive the OS is. This is because the distributors like Dell and HP need to pay $50 to Microsoft to use Windows on their PC's. This has lead the PC builders to explore other ways such as GoogleOs or even most recently Android.
But the crew in Redmond may have found a way to narrow the price gap, though. Bloomberg claims that Microsoft is cutting Windows 8.1's license fee to $15 for any device that sells for less than $250, letting builders offer very cheap Windows PCs without destroying their profits. The developer isn't commenting on the reported discount, but this would be a familiar strategy. There's no guarantee that the company will repeat its earlier success if the lower Windows 8.1 prices take effect. However, it is now a hard time for Microsoft to sell its operating system as other OS such as MacOSX, Ununtu and many more.Let us know how you feel about this and do you use windows?
