Price fixing.
,----[ Quote ]
| Who in their right mind will purchase Windows 7 at these prices?
|
|
| The answer is of course is that Windows will not be sold at that price.
| Instead Microsoft will use its OEM monopoly control to fix prices so that it
| is priced to undercut competitors in any area they make an inroad by offering
| low OEM prices with conditions attached such as hardware spec. price etc. and
| offering rebates so that OEMs effectively are paid by Microsoft to keep
| competitors off preloaded systems. They are doing exactly this on netbooks
| and nettops right now, and there is a long suspicion that the reluctance of
| the likes of Dell and HP to advertise or aggressively sell Linux PCs and
| laptops that are preloaded with Linux in the past is due to such market
| manipulation.
