They choose to use Windows to do well next to the purchase cost of windows? If you buy an OEM version you do not officially support microsoft. Only the retail version you get support, then that price difference.
I am agree with you. Only I have the suspicion that there is a lot less laptops will be sold with Linux, the support costs per laptop a lot higher than a version with Windows on it. And an OEM version of Windows will cost only a few tientjes, so that's why I think it not strange that there is no difference in price.
