U. C. And I even said "PC heydays" and "the 90's" and I said "Dell" and "hewlett Packard" multiple times. He's intentionally trying to change what I was talking about, and pretend he CLEARLY DIDN'T READ the context in which I was explaining Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,670 Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 LMFAO I still cant get over the fact that this idiot thought that companies like Dell, Intel, Lenovo, HP..... are paid and subsidized by MS... to include Windows on their devices.... when it's the other way around... they pay MS for OEM copies...

He's intentionally trying to change what I was talking about, and pretend he CLEARLY DIDN'T READ the context in which I was explaining LMFAO we're in a thread talking about Intel and other companies making a "console like" box.... and potentially using SteamOS..... LOL none of what you just said changes a single fucking thing LMFAO... These companies PAY MS (a cheaper amount) to include Windows on their device... and they subsidize that cost... by passing it on to the consumer and factoring it into the total cost of the product. They ONLY make money on selling the hardware idiot.... So... in the case of making a "console box" PC.... they could put SteamOS on it... and not pay anything to Valve... and sell it specifically to gamers... AS IS. They're not making any money that happens on transactions inside of SteamOS.. just like they wouldn't make money on any transactions that happen inside Windows Oh man Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Either one of two things: 1.) You lost the argument, and are trying to play stupid or 2.) You're so tunnel-visioned angry, that you didn't pay attention. Either one makes me laugh at you. Like I said, go cry somewhere else..........I was already speaking to somebody else who wasn't making crying noises like you.

That's what I thought Dumbass doesn't even know how this worked during the 90's Intel is in the chip business. They don't make an OS. They don't have a digital product to sell. They're selling the NUC to make a profit. Either Windows or SteamOS or some other Linux distro are going to make it useful. The Intel post says there will be a choice of OSes. We don't even know that SteamOS will be provided. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We don't even know that SteamOS will be provided. But I was talking about a universal "VCR" concept. So, sure the base hardware could be standardized, using Intel chips and their reference spec, but Intel doesn't to be the one fully investing in making the hardware, distributing, marketing, customer support. That would make them the defacto owner of a platform. They'd rather have other companies share that risk, and they'd sell their chips to those OEMs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
