Microsoft Cutting Windows Licensing Fees By 70 Percent?!

Microsoft reportable cutting Windows 8.1 licensing costs by 70% to PC makers

The Bloomberg News reports reports at by doing this it would make manufacturers be able to make devices for under $250/£150, which would make these devices compete with Google Chrome Books.

In my opinion i think it would give the Chromebook a run for its money as it’s not able to run anything but chrome apps/extensions its just a browser with 8.1 you can run EVERY program that is compatible with Windows.
