They always refused to reimburse the cost of Windows licences before this even if it was illegal in the country you lived in. I'm very surprised.

I paid about $100 less to have my workstation shipped with Ubuntu instead of Windows 10 Pro 3 years ago. United States.

The market is shifting...

For at least half a decade I've been seeing computers - both brand-name laptops as well as custom built desktops - sold with FreeDOS as default, and you have to pay extra for Windows.

The most important part is that you wouldn't get a pc with an instant desktop experience that would just let you just boot up and go to Facebook or whatever, so it had little chance of actually harming Microsoft.

This may actually change things!

This may help them absorb the tarrifs by advertising it at current rates while raising the price by 200 bucks.
