Because they buy licenses in bulk, they get a sizeable discount over what a consumer would pay for a new copy of Windows 11. But given the existing cost pressures from other components, a big Windows 11 price hike could lead them to pass on some of the added cost to PC buyers.

Paramount had been keen to close the deal before Sept. 30, when it will begin to incur a $7-million-a-day "ticking fee" to be paid to Warner Bros. investors. The agreement is a tacit acknowledgement that that will not happen, barring a settlement with the states.

Submission + - These are America's 10 worst states to live in for 2026 according to CNBC 1
Nicholas Grayhame writes: CNBC lists America’s 10 worst states to live in based on their quality of life scores:
As more companies insist their employees return to the office, they know they need to offer something in return to attract and retain good people. Thats why finding a place where people will want to live is an increasingly important factor as companies decide where to set up shop.
"Quality of place, especially investing in quality of place, is the top thing you can do for talent attraction and retention," said site selection consultant Larry Gigerich, managing executive director of Ginovus in Indianapolis, and chairman of the Site Selectors Guild.
CNBC is placing increasing emphasis on Quality of Life, one of the 10 categories of competitiveness in our annual Americas Top States for Business study. It is our annual ranking of every states business climate, now in its 20th year. Under this years methodology, the category makes up 11.6% of a states overall score, up from about ten percent last year.
To score the states for quality of life, we use hard data on factors like crime rates, air quality and healthcare. We also consider the cost and availability of childcare, inclusiveness of state laws, and reproductive rights. Some states offer exemplary quality of life. But these ten states do not make the grade. ...
