I rate the pricing a five out of ten. The product is not that cheap. There are no additional costs associated with the tool.

It is not expensive. The licensing costs are okay. I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive.

We need to pay for the licensing through Microsoft partner. We benefit from an education license in the Philippines, which provides us with a better deal compared to Windows licenses for retail stores.

Windows 10 has a good subscription. But, Microsoft should work on making the OS more affordable to compete with other operating systems like Linux, which is known for its security and is used on many servers. They could also add new features and support more applications. The licensing is yearly. I think the license is only available on a yearly basis. It would be nice if they offered some one-time license options where you could procure it for a lifetime. It's not expensive or cheap, but it's in a mediocre range. They could make it a little bit cheaper.

Windows 10 is included with the computers we buy, so I'm unsure how that breaks down. When I worked for an OEM years ago, I know that OEM licenses were quite cheap, but I don't know if that has changed since then.

Pricing depends on the type of license. If you are an enterprise customer, you can pay for licensing on a monthly basis. We, however, are an educations firm, we pay for our licensing on an annual basis. It also depends on the relationship you have with Microsoft.

The basic operating system of any hardware should be free. Therefore, it should be free. They should charge only for the enterprise level or enabling the hypervisor. They should charge for Professional Windows 10, but the basic OS should be free.
