Sadly you get a discount from windows on most machines... same specs but the windows equivalent is usually cheaper.

  The OEM license is paid in full by the adware/crapware that comes installed over it. One more reason to uninstall Windows (besides Windows)

    I don't see why they can't install crapware on Linux, cut out MS, and cut prices for customers while keeping a bigger cut for themselves.

      Crapware authors are too dumb, or too busy making money from Windows OEMs, to care about writing software for Linux.

      They could, but that could, perhaps, increase the OEM license prices for that manufacturer. Microsoft doesn't take being cut out lightly.
