Microsoft tries to jumpstart cheap Windows devices with license price cut

2014-02-24 14:30:17| InfoWorld: Top News

Microsoft has cut the price of Windows 8.1 by nearly three-fourths to device makers who produce lower-cost laptops and tablets, according to a report from Bloomberg. Citing sources who asked not to be named, Bloomberg said that licenses for Windows 8.1, normally $50, would instead cost OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) just $15. The discounted licenses would only be available for hardware that sold for less than $250.
