It all depends on the number of units you're expecting to sell. For instance, in Germany, a Windows CE licence costs about 10 â¬, now do the simple math.. If you're expecting to sell 10k units, that's A LOT OF MONEY.
For the money you save with the licences, you can easily hire some skilled Linux/*BSD people.
