Those OEM licenses do seem quite cheap. I think it was Dell who gave an option for a while. To remove the Windows license and have Ubuntu instead only saved $10.

It was low enough where I think most buyers questioned if it would be worth it to have the license just incase.

I’ve heard the actual OEM cost is offset by the manufacturer getting paid for all the bloatware included.
