Not to mention the inestimable harm done to their reputation, leading to some unknown number of lost sales. Presumably they have some support staff overhead too for enterprise customers.
Given the relative weights on MSFT's balance sheets of Windows vs Live Cash Back, I'd say any serious OS problem probably costs them orders of magnitude more than this.
- rbanffy 17y agoLike I said, they have a dozen important Windows clients: Acer, Lenovo, HP, Dell, IBM and a couple others. As long as those are happy, MS execs are making their bonuses and everything is right. As for a reputation... Well... There is a PHB graduated every minute.
