Who loses / who gains money ....
``The software giant said it earned $2.69 billion, or 25 cents per share, on revenue of $9.29 billion for the three months ended June 30. That compares to earnings of $1.48 billion, or 14 cents per share, on revenue of $8.07 billion for the same quarter a year ago.''

It is strange that although the clean up bill for the global security mess that is directly attributabel to MSs s/w, costed the entire world around $200 Billion in the last year, MS itself still managed to rake in $2.69 billion in the last quarter.

I guess people like to waste money persistently wink good show!
