I can't see the price of Win7 license being an issue on a $550 PC. Normally the pay-back for including anti-virus and other trialware is more than the OEM windows license.
I suspect this is a negotiating point with Redmond.
If MS is serious about remaining relevent in the smartphone & table era - the price of a Win7 license might well be negative.
- ptomato 16y agoYes, because HP will totally think it's a good idea to continue pre-installing that shit on something they want to compete with the iPad.
- loiuygthyujik 16y agoYou think HP care about the customer experience!!!!!!! HP has been the graveyard of a lot of OSes - VMS, HPUX, Tru64, Compaq, Tandem now BEOS and WebOS
- ptomato 16y agoThat's quite a lot of exclamation points. And I just think it's possible that HP is finally getting a clue. Buying Palm is a good sign, because really, why else would they buy it if they're not planning on actually using WebOS?
