How much does HP/Dell/other manufacturers pay for each copy of Windows Vista Home Premium?
I’m going to try to get a rebate, as I don’t use Windows, when I buy my new computer. You wouldn’t happen to know what the wholesale cost for the operating system is, would you? Thanks.
PS Any advice on getting the refund for the operating system?
It ranges.
Of course manufacturers are never going to disclose that information. But it can be guesstimated by factoring in the cost of parts that they pay prices ranging between $50 or less for home basic and $130 or less for Vista Ultimate.
You can look at a budget end system for 299 and factor in around 125 wholesale parts cost and labor cost of 10- 50 “depending on country of manufacture” shipping transport cost of 10-20 per unit.
Now obviously I’m overestimating cost but you can see where I’m going in order for the low end system to make any profit the Operating system has to be a deeply discounted bulk rate.
So factoring this in I figure
Vista Home basic 30-50
Home premium 50-80
Vista Business 70-100
Vista Ultimate 80-130
As for getting rebates from a brand name manufacturer I can’t say. What I can say is that if your installing your own operating system I would go custom build for 2 reasons.
One its cheaper to get a barebone from Tiger direct or New Egg with a superior quality of parts than name brand systems.
Two hardware compatibility I’m assuming that you plan on using open source for an operating system. With a custom build you can do your home work and get the parts with the best compatibility with the operating system your installing making for a more trouble free installation down the line.
