"One of the bigger announcements to come out of Build 2014 is that Microsoft is dropping the manufacturer royalty fee on Windows and Windows Phone for devices under 9 inches in size. This is a big deal for partners, and ultimately good news for consumers since costs won’t have to be passed down. This will also be applied to devices that tie into the internet of things, like wearables or home automation devices.

We had an inkling that this would be happening, but don’t expect this move to come to proper desktop or laptop PCs any time soon."

This could be the move that changes the game for many. Microsoft are just on a roll lately. 1st Office for Android phones and iPhone goes free, them they bring Office for iPad, the best selling tablet around, WP8.1 brings a whole lot of new things many have been waiting for including a voice assistant and then this, I'm definitely warming up to this "new Microsoft".
