Funny. I just read an X-Ray: Microsoft on Money Magazine (Sept 2014
issue page 44 - hot off the press) where it says: "The software
giant is taking a page out of Google's playbook. Manufacturers can
now use Windows OS free on any device smaller than 9 inches......"<br>
<br>
Maybe not that expensive after all.<br>

<div>Really nice news overall. It’ll be interesting to hear if
Microsoft offers some Windows license akin to Windows 8.1 with
Bing for the MAX. Right now a Windows 8.1 standard license
rivals the cost of the Minnowboard MAX itself!</div>
