Doesn't matter, they still get money for Windows licences from OEMs.

I know, just clarifying that their main business isn't selling hardware.

But that's irrelevant. It's still in their interest to get you to buy new PCs.

The comment was about selling new computers and not using old ones. They want to sell more software, they aren't hardware focused.

And that comment was 100% correct. They want more computers sold, because more computers sold means more Windows licences sold.

You're acting like PC hardware sales are unrelated to Windows license sales. They're directly related.

Here's the quote:

they won’t be able to sell as many new computers

Their sales of hardware are insignificant.
