I don’t know if it’s just me that find it highly interesting that they choose to run Windows for these kind of things? Anyone able to elaborate the reasons for this? Surely this just costs them so much extra having to buy licenses for each of these screens…?

Please do correct me or clarify this for me 🌻

    Worked for 2 digital advertising companies and the cost of Volume License windows is nothing compared to the cost of the rest of the hardware.

    We were paying AU$700 for a Lenovo PC and another AU$800 on a screen while the volume key for windows was less AU$100.

    Why save AU$100 per pc when I have to spend several thousand more per year paying some to run a remote Linux box rather than a windows one.
