Does Microsoft make any profits from any Windows operating system licences that are reinstalled on Digital Pipeline PCs?
A. No. Microsoft only covers its costs for administering the non-profit making program (Microsoft Authorised Refurbisher Program) that enables computer refurbishers to reinstall Windows on refurbished PCs that are supplied to beneficiaries including registered charities and educational institutions. The licences are currently priced at $5 (U.S dollars) per PC.
