This recalls memories of the Nokia takeover. It got other vendors salty since basically Nokia could sell Windows phone for free, while others had to pay licensing fees. Granted, Windows phone was a newcomer facing an uphill battle against IOS and Android, while the PC market is well established and many businesses simply depend on Windows, but I wonder if this will still make for another little dent.
