For TVs the manufacturers are the ones who control the bloated adware and make money off of it while on notebooks and laptops it is Micro$oft. Except maybe for TVs coming with Android TV OS, but I think even that can be modified to promote their services.
Wow, I didn’t realize the windows tax was that high. I thought the bulk OEM licensing was significantly cheaper than the retail price.
It’s kind of absurd. When you buy a TV, the bloated adware at least helps lower the price. Imagine paying extra for it.
sssssshhhhhhhhhhh don’t type this out loud

Why would it lower the price? Don’t ads only exist to generate a bit of extra revenue?
Lower the price of the TV
I thought it was as much as the $10-$20 keys from key resellers.
