"So what you're saying is that Microsoft doesn't charge Dell anything for the Windows license?
I find the alternative explanation - that Microsoft has prevailed upon Dell to sell the FreeDOS-equipped PCs at an artificially inflated price in order to reduce their attractiveness - rather more likely."
No, that is not what I said or was saying. Microsoft does charge dell for a license. All I was saying is that there is no difference in price for a PC with or without. Please don't read into what I write, but rather exactly what it says. Webster's English Dictionary is a wonderful thing, unless you are a lawyer in which case I suppose you can make up your own meanings as you go.
