Windows License Cost To Drop To $42 Per PC By 2020, Says Analyst

note to investors, Trefin analysts claim that the cost of Windows licensing per PC is to drop significantly in the coming years, and could hit the levels of $42 by the year 2020:

“This should help stem the decline in OS market share as the company will be able to limit client migration. Currently, Microsoft has approximately 78% market share in the operating system space, and we expect that to stabilize at 75% by 20.”
Interesting forecast, to say the least. Failing PC shipments and decline in demand for traditional hardware is a reality, even as Microsoft continues on its path to transition to a devices and services approach. Surface tablets, however, will have a very big role to play, if the company is to maintain its market share and increase revenues. These branded slates set the trend for other hardware vendors, and although the figures above are just estimates, fact is that Microsoft is aggressively perusing hardware success. Success that ultimately ties into future growth in more areas than one.]]>
