It's also worth noting, MS Office 2007 isn't burning up the sales either, and those are the only two product lines MS makes money on. It's a strange business at this point in time. MS has the home and business market desktop market virtually locked up. Computers are now doing just about everything that's being asked of them. With XP. Where do they go? They're trying to sell bells and whistles now it seems. Unless there's something I can't see, which is entirely possible, they've reached sort of a dead end. --Vic There's an upstart little company out there packaging PCs that will run on either MS or Apple operating systems... And the boxes they sell are cheap. Do they have a license to use the Apple OS? Of course not. :) But nothing prevents you from popping into any Apple store and buying the latest OS... What the company's name? |

But I still do not understand the "bitch" comment. I asked a simple, innocent question as to the name of the company supplying the Windows/Apple OS machine. Is that being Jobs' bitch? If that's what you think, you have a problem. |
