  • When Microsoft battled Android to sell their own phones, they demanded a $35 license fee for “Microsoft Patents” on Android!.
    AFAIK that was about the same as a Windows OEM license! Just about every Android phone maker folded and agreed to pay!

    So IDK Microsoft can be very aggressive in their license pricing. There are also different versions of Windows, and a multi language license is AFAIK more expensive.

    Still for me it would be absolutely insane to pay that much, as I would just format it anyway, and install Linux. And with Linux I can use whatever language I want!
