Except no - the amount of MS Whining about piracy is disproportionate about the real situation - the majority of laptops that a person can buy already come with some form of windows license. To the point that it is actually hard to buy a PC without windows. Sadly the self assembled laptop was never a thing.

The real pirated software is MS Office.

In the States maybe, Windows is massively pirated over seas especially in Asia.

Also there's a reason self assembled laptops aren't a thing, packing all the components in the size of a laptop is a really hard problem.
