    If they ditch windows, their products can cost less without reducing profits, selling more units because of reduced price.

    There is no reason for them to go with windows instead of linux if in neither case they are profitting from the OS.

      MS could be offering marketing fund deals, I’m not privy to such business decisions. But even if we assume they don’t, these manufacturers are in a clear disadvantage compared to Valve.

      They won’t be able to compete on price with the deck even if they go with linux.

      Naturally they should choose linux IMO, but they not neccessarily have the same interests as me.
