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.

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.

I paid for a license, but there's no monthly fee. It was a one-time purchase, maybe around $100, with my laptop. Not a huge expense.

Windows 10 is a cheaply priced product.

I'm not sure about how much it's priced in the consumer world, but within enterprise it comes with a Microsoft 365 license, which is very easy. It has become an easier commercial model. Microsoft licensing was always a great pain for every enterprise customer because it was so complicated. It was so complex to understand and comprehend that in any large deal we had to give a call to our licensing officer from Microsoft, and only they could solve those complexities. Now we can at least take some of the rudimentary decisions and some of the basic calculations. From a pricing standpoint, it's well priced. I guess it's not a lot to ask for, especially when it comes along with a package for the solution. It's quite competitive.

I am not part of the vendor management team, so I don't know the product's price, but I know that my company has an enterprise agreement with Microsoft.

The price strategy is fine and there are no additional costs involved. 

Windows 10 is expensive. 

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. 

On a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price possible and ten is the highest, I rate its pricing five since it's quite overpriced.

The product is reasonably priced; it's neither too high nor too low. 

Windows 10 is cheap. Microsoft Office came with Windows 10, and that's a very good package.

My organization gets Windows 10 for free with our computers.

The pricing is about average.

We pay a licensing fee for Windows 10, which is too expensive.

The licensing price could definitely be cheaper. I pay a yearly license for Windows 10. 

I would like to see an easier licensing system.

The licensing is okay. We normally buy the Pro version, the Business version. We find all features are already incorporated.

It is only a one-time purchase. I can use it for a lifetime. 

The solution’s pricing is average.

The solution's price is affordable. We purchase its yearly license.

I have a home license that costs me around 1,000 rupees.

The pricing is on the higher end, especially in Nigeria where the exchange rate is considerably high, making it challenging to afford such products.

It falls within the average price range; it's not particularly cheap or expensive.

Windows 10 was already factory installed on our new PCs.  We upgraded to Windows 10 Professional later.  For home users, the professional version is not necessary unless file sharing between PCs is a requirement.

There is a one-time license purchase for Windows 10.

The product's commercial pricing is high. 

The price could possibly be improved, although I cannot know this for certain. 

I do not know the specifics of the licensing terms, as we are talking about an enterprise arrangement of which I am not involved. 

While I have not contacted technical support, we are entitled to premium support when needed. 

Windows 10 has multiple versions—Home, Home Premium, and Enterprise—so the pricing will be different for each version. The pricing is okay and if they're getting sold out, that means people are buying it. I must say, it's a monopoly, but I really like the way Microsoft fits into the monopoly. 

There is a license for this solution and it normally comes free with any system.

We tend to pay for the license yearly and have 3-year agreements with Microsoft.

The solution could always be cheaper. If they lowered the price, it would be ideal for the customer base.

I'm unsure of cost or licensing because our IT department handles that. 

Windows 10 came preinstalled on my laptop, I am not sure the price.

Microsoft's licensing strategy is constantly changing. In a few years, we might only be using cloud versions for the Microsoft operating system. That's my prediction. So I'm not expecting a general improvement on that. For example, I know the average price of a standard operating system for home use, but I see the enterprise version much more expensive than the version for home users. I'm usually buying products for private use based on my company's different price preferences. So I have no billing platform included in the device. I'm not buying hardware and software separately. I'm always buying this combined version that includes the hardware and software.

I'm on a yearly subscription. The license keys and prices could be cheaper. The number of users has been increasing, so the price of the license keys should be reduced a bit. 

The solution is a bit costly. We would prefer it if the price wasn't so high.

There is a license required for this solution.

Get a KMS server and a volume license if you are a medium sized business. Being able to wipe and re-image is crucial for long term stability of your fleet. Having a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) makes it so every new activation counts against your total.

The software and hardware tend to get bundled together in the final price. I can't speak to the exact pricing, as it's not an aspect of the product I deal with.

The tool's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it a four out of ten. 

The product has a yearly licensing fee. The licensing fee is similar to the market price of other products.

We have a commercial license for all of our competitors, and it is sensitive.

You do have to pay in order to use the solution, however, it is a one-time fee. You do not have to worry about daily or monthly licensing costs.

It is bundled, but if you purchase it individually it's expensive.

Windows 10 was pre-installed when I bought my laptop, so I haven't had to deal with any licensing costs. 

We pay for a yearly subscription.

I would not say it's expensive. It has an extensive range of options. If you're just looking at the OS perspective, there is no comparison. 

You don't know how much does a macOS costs you, as it comes with the hardware. I would say that, with the performance that Windows delivers, it's not justifiable that Windows is charging the money they do. That said, I would say that it is not expensive. 

There might be a Windows setup fee when you buy the license, however, I am not 100% certain this is the case. 

I don't know how much we paid for the solution. 

Pricing depends on the type of license. If you are an enterprise customer, you can pay for licensing on a monthly basis.

We pay for the license, and it's fine.

The licensing fees could be more flexible.

Some of the issues we're having are when your company wants a license or when we don't know if that license can be merged. It is extremely difficult for Microsoft as a company because Microsoft is based in the United States and we live in Germany. We also have other options available here. In this regard, Microsoft is very rigid and unforgiving.

While the licensing costs of Windows 10 certainly exceed those of other operating systems, as far as the product, its performance and its wide range of usage goes, it is fine. It's worth the price. 

The reason we incur a cost in excess of the licensing fee is because we pay for Premium support, which is fine by us.

There is a standard license to use Windows 10.

While we would always prefer a lower cost for licensing the product, for the kind of quality the software system is providing, I cannot complain. You get pretty good value.
