This article is not correct. If you imagine that OEM's pay the retail price for Windows 98 then the 20% figure would be correct on a $599.00 PC. But OEM's do not pay retail, they get a discount since they buy in quantity. I think this article may have a point that Windows pricing may need tweaking in the low end market but the figures seem totally wrong to me.
