| Microsoft made $1.5 billion from Vista incapable PCs I wonder how much they made off of the US Gov? We have been buying vista machines (I think mine is a year and half old now) for well over a year now and putting XPPro on them, now the pentagon or some other idiot group has mandated we all go to vista soonest. We have a lot of legacy software that is broken under the vista rules, so we have to buy new stuff for that, as well as pay for new licenses on all the machines that had vista to begin with (so the local admin group says, but they hate vista too, so it may be bias).
Your tax dollars at work, don't need Obama to spend more money that has not yet been printed yet, the current structure is doing just fine  .

| Re: Microsoft made $1.5 billion from Vista incapable PCs I may be crazy, but I have always believed that every Microsoft OS upgrade has been, in part, to help sell new hardware along with the new OS. I think that's one reason that they have these marketing arrangements with the hardware vendors. Of course, I could be wrong. It could all be just some sort of amazing coincidence. | |
