Codeweavers to overtake Microsoft by 2018
- GeneralMaximus 17y agoIs this a joke? Please tell me it's a joke.
- seasoup 17y agoOh come on guys, it's obviously tongue in cheek. A very clever press release that shows the founders have a great sense of humor. I'm checking out their product.
- truebosko 17y agoOf course it is. Reading past the first paragraph or looking at the graph for 10 seconds will reveal that. "Projected Nonsense Data" ... come on :)

- cesare 17y agoHilarious. Especially the graph.
- MaysonL 17y agoIt's a great joke, and a great piece of PR.
- heycarsten 17y agoLOL, these guys always crack me up.

- pmichaud 17y agoBeat me to it.
- Elepsis 17y agoOkay, I get it, it's funny... but seriously? You're a company whose business model depends almost entirely on Microsoft being around to write its software so your software can run it on other OSes. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
- joe_the_user 17y agoNo, Microsoft has already written the software. Today we mostly depend on Microsoft not rewriting the software too badly (and we may not be in luck).
- mixmax 17y agoI calculate this differently. Instead of extrapolating the 17% decline year over year I extrapolate the negative growth in revenue in dollars. A straight line drops much quicker. By this projection I can arrive at the conclusion that whatever I happen to be doing in 2012 my company will overtake Microsoft since their operating revenue will be negative.
- mingyeow 17y agoAwesome joke. Reminds me of my (actual) business plan projections which extrapolated will allow me to repay the entirety of US debt to china in 15 years time.
