True but quite misleading because you're comparing software with hardware. A lot of OEMs especially Sony have had laptops costing north of $2000 that sell quite well. MS probably makes the same amount on them, but Sony gets a premium on models like the SZ series and Z series. One of my friends dropped $2400 on this laptop a year ago.

- bduerst 14y agoI get what you're saying, but he's comparing packages that consumers buy. MS was OS of choice for the cost leaders in the market. Apple was the quality leader.
