Microsoft Said To Cut Windows Price 70% For Low Cost Devices 178
kc123 writes with this except from Bloomberg News: "Microsoft is cutting the price of Windows 8.1 by 70 percent for makers of low-cost computers and tablets as they try to fend off cheaper rivals like Google's Chromebooks, people familiar with the program said. Manufacturers will be charged $15 to license Windows 8.1 and preinstall it on devices that retail for less than $250, instead of the usual fee of $50. The discount will apply to any products that meet the price limit, with no restrictions on the size or type of device."

It's like telling poor people they should stop stealing and just lie down and starve. Sure in an ideal world that's what they would do.
The scary thing is that there really are people who believe that poor people should just lie down and starve, as if respecting property rights is more important than staying alive.
