What do you think it would cost MS to sell a version of Windows that's just...an operating system, and not an ad platform? Like Windows XP? Or maybe Windows 10 on day 1?
Last time I bought a Win 10 Pro DVD to install on a customer's machine, it was AUD$195.00. And I still had to use powershell to de-provision some of the bullshit. Better than the Home version (AUD$165.00), at least I can use GPEDIT to disable some "features".
Of course, a Windows licence on a pre-built Dell or HP would be a lot less.
