Funny. I just read an X-Ray: Microsoft on Money Magazine (Sept 2014
issue page 44 - hot off the press) where it says: "The software giant is
taking a page out of Google's playbook. Manufacturers can now use
Windows OS free on any device smaller than 9 inches......"
Maybe not that expensive after all.

We hadn’t yet added dual-boot support for Console OS and Windows 8.1.
I think we’ll have to wait for the full details - the team winced when
I brought up the notion of cramming 8.1 and Console OS onto the same
4GB eMMC… but anything’s possible with USB and SATA.
Really nice news overall. It’ll be interesting to hear if Microsoft
offers some Windows license akin to Windows 8.1 with Bing for the MAX.
Right now a Windows 8.1 standard license rivals the cost of the
Minnowboard MAX itself!
Microsoft does hint that won’t be an issue at least for developers:
“*The ability for developers to download a copy of Windows OS *from
MSDN, where they will also find a link pointing to a location where
all board-specific drivers will be hosted. In addition, Microsoft will
provide scripts to help deploy the OS onto a USB key, or to boot from
a USB key and deploy the OS to internal storage."

Hi,
Before I watched the live broadcast this evening (in the U.K.) I had
no idea that I was buying an officially Microsoft supported Windows
Development Board... but now I have!
What a pleasant surprise!
Check out “http://msdn.microsoft.com/hardwaredevboard”

Interesting times ahead I think.
