I once tried to buy some windows embedded licences in NZ for some Chinese industrial touchscreens which came with dodgy licences, we were put off by having to work with their "certified partners" and the eventual US$149 price tag we got quoted for each licence (January 2016).
I Really couldn't work out where Microsoft were going with this product, as I see I can now buy a Latte Panda embedded x86 board with windows 10 embedded licence for 2/3 this cost!
The client took the hit at the time and purchased full Windows 7 licences for them but for me it was the kick I needed to make me Learn Linux properly and I have now re-compiled the touchscreen program for linux and got it running in Ubuntu guest/Kiosk mode so this wont be a problem for me going forward.
