- astrodust 14y agoIt does seem that Microsoft could still be massively profitable if they nearly gave away Windows for desktop while still charging for Office and Windows Server. There'd be little incentive to pirate Windows if it only cost $25. If you want to monetize that further, sell support packages, offer a Backblaze-like backup service for a monthly subscription fee, and so on.
