Windows 8.1 with Bing - Windows for free? 

2/11/2014

 
You might have noticed that some devices have started to appear with Windows 8.1 with Bing - it's free, but what's the catch? For example there's been Windows 7 Starter, which had limits to how many programs you could run etc. 

However, this time it's not catch - it's the full, entire version of Windows 8.1. The only limitation is that the manufacturer cannot change the default search engine from Bing to for example Google, but you as the consumer are free to do so if you like. And it's not very relevant for Digital Signage use anyhow :) 

This is a serious cost-changer that easily shaves $100 or so from the player device cost - check out the excellent Zotac Pico 320 for example.
