What's their market share on servers? How much time do people spend on the internet?
Most windows machines these days are dumb clients to the web, so that fact that Microsoft provides the software for this doesn't seem like a huge win.
- RyanMcGreal 17y agoAs long as customers continue to pay for the OS on those "dumb clients", it's still a win for Microsoft.

- RyanMcGreal 17y agoMy most recent computer purchase was a modest dual-core PC with 350 GB hard drive. It cost only $350 CDN without an operating system - but it was surprisingly difficult to find an assembled computer for sale that didn't come bundled with an OS.
