Commercial Windows licenses aren't typically covered by the equipment installers (or if they are, the cost is passed on to you instead of subsidizing it), have expiration dates, and you'll want security updates.
I think the comment had the implication that the system would be running on Windows if not Ubuntu.
The comment implied Microsoft somehow is preventing a business owner from running their business.
