According to a recent report by the WSJ Microsoft is reducing the
price of Windows 8 and also Microsoft Office 2013 to its OEM
manufacturing partners in an attempt to boost sales of touchscreen
Windows devices.
The new deal will apparently mean that manufacturers will pay just $30 for Windows 8 and Microsoft Office combined, this is around $90 cheaper than normal, and could help boost device sales.
As OEM manufacturers will be paying around $90 less to Microsoft, they
could pass this saving onto consumers, which would make for cheaper
devices which in the end should help increase sales of Windows 8 based
devices.
