"That being said, Microsoft does sell them bulk-discount Windows licenses. The more PCs they sell with Windows, the cheaper each license is for them. It is in the OEMs best interest to attempt to ship as many Windows licenses as possible."

Why not OEMs just ship without any OS installed? It's cheaper for the OEMs too. Let the user decide what OS to install into his newly-purchased PC (and let him do the installation). There will be those who still insist on MS, they can go to MS's website and purchase for themselves a license (without involving OEMs). I specifically told my PC vendor to ship without any OS.
