However the license that Comet bought from Microsoft and sold to consumers is cheaper because it doesn't include backup DVDs, only a backup partition on the drive. By making the backup DVD themselves and selling it to consumers for 3 bucks, they got a discount on Windows license for which they charged customers a full price. I see this going only one way. |
At least Microsoft are going for retailers in breach of their agreements rather than a consumer. I think this will be settled out of court very very quickly.
