Some discussions like this are underway already. I'm a little skeptical
that they can really lead to much - the margins are really not so big
and the h/w vendor would like to keep as much of them as possible. but
maybe 80% of whatever windows OEM cost. I'm not much of a numbers guy,
and I tend to always be pessimistic about this kind of idea, but we'll
see.
