      How does that make any sense? Does Microsoft get a cut of sales for component upgrades?

        This question makes no sense.

        Most Windows users are not technical enough to do component upgrades.

        Any new computer sold that has a copy of Windows preinstalled means Microsoft is getting a cut.

          Obviously, but we’re talking about a really, really small subset of users that probably would earn Microsoft less than a week of coffee in their corporate office.

        people can’t upgrade.

        people see their computer isn’t supported.

        people buy a new computer.
