Well, the OEM price for Windows XP is $20 or less, for big guys
(like
Dell etc.). Since there is hardly any incremental costs for
software
Since MS doesn't sell directly to GOI but only thro OEM, they have to
slash prices of OEM which again leads to one more entity asking for
price cut.
for additional copies sold, they can undercut the price as much as
they want (and say, ask for a much higher amount at the next
upgrade).
Exactly this was the point, he was discussing i.e cost in next cycle
of upgrade/purchase. This is one more reason why he is convinced.
