Any new computer sold that has a copy of Windows preinstalled means Microsoft is getting a cut.
Obviously, but we're talking about a really, really small subset of users that probably would earn Microsoft less than a week of coffee in their corporate office.
Are they still doing that thing where OEMs pay licenses based on units sold regardless of OS? So even if you want Linux, they still have to pay for windows?
As far as I'm aware, they had to stop doing that some time ago.
