The big PC OEMs get Windows at a steep discount compared to end users, and you’ll have to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 for a full OEM Windows license (and more if you want a retail version with tech support)...

It’s common knowledge that Microsoft is making tons of money collecting licensing fees from makers of mobile devices running Android.
