does it really matter 40m sold still is 40m
does it really matter 40m sold still is 40m.

you can slice it try to cut up the numbers.

say it was this it was that.

but they were sold Microsoft is alive and well and still on top of the hill.

and no Virginia Windows Vista did not kill Microsoft.

like i said and said when xp came out and when 2000 came out and when 98 came out.

when the Microsoft haters all ways say the sky is falling Microsoft it dieing the end is near.

Linux is going to be the new king.

but as i all ways say Microsoft's user base is way to big sure they lose a few.

but you have to look at it realistically for every windows user Microsoft loses it gains 10 how do i come up with that number.

ok when Joe blow user go's out and buys a computer whats installed on it Windows.

when someone go's to college or adult school to take a computer course what do they offer 99% of the offerings are windows based offerings.

don't believe me check it out for your self most community colleges don't offer anything but windows based training,

not all but most.

is it right no. but thats how things are so like i said sure Microsoft loses users but they pick up a lot more than they lose.

the market the way it's set up at this time.

is it right no but thats just the way it is.
