Depends on what you mean by "copies" of Win98. Factors are at least: - Difference between full packaged product and just a license - Volume discounts Full retail packaged product and upgrade product probably cost the same, and there is distribution overhead. Price to hardware vendors for licenses is probably less, and I do not know who pays for printed materials and media. Profit is probably lower but on high volume. Price for corporate site-licenses for new users and upgrades is probably lower than full packaged product, since the only deliverable may be a license and a minimal amount of software & documentation, and probably have significant volume discount.
