Part of the turnkey cost is the customer buying Excel. When a customer
buys device that employs a commercial OS, they don't care and probably
aren't aware that they are buying the OS license. There are tons of
cash registers using embedded Windows, but the grocery store or
corporate business office doesn't care that part of the cost was to get
a Windows license. They bought a product, not its parts.
