10 Stunning Facts About Microsoft’s Profits

24online · 04-05-2007, 04:24 PM

Wow! The Var Guy owns a calculator, and sat down recently to compare Microsoft's profits to those of ten other famous companies. For fun, he expresses those comparisons in terms of how long it takes Microsoft to exceed the quarterly profits of Apple (two weeks), Google (18 days) and Red Hat (10 hours!) Microsoft also blows away giants like McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Wal-Mart! Microsoft brings in $55 million of profit -- profit, not revenue -- PER DAY. Something to think about next time you're shelling out $450 for a copy of Microsoft Office. GO HERE FOR THE JUICY DETAILS

Though I do not wish to deviate from the topic, I would like to add that Microsoft employees themselves used to refer to Apple's headquarters as "R&D South". Maybe they do even now but not so publicly anymore.

Let the original discussion continue...

Actually they shud be happy coz ppl are using macs(not windows

) according to them.and if they hate windows then are they are hating macs,coz windows are macs afterall

...its all confusing right.

..

lolz...

The thing is, we understand the pain & jealousy Mac users & El Jobso has. El Jobso could have been the world's most richest man if it wasen't for his "My Computer My OS My Mouse" approch

. Bill Gates designed Windows 95 & let it install on any X86 PC out there, & Intel Pentium was going cheap in those days. A full Windows PC was much cheeper then Mac at that time & Now it gained so much market share.

With every Mac sold & every macboy/marketing agent for Mac made, the jealousy continues. They know & feel that despite for being good they are not considered the best & don't have enough money. The money Apple makes in 3 months, MS makes in 2 weeks

, you count the difference.

Mac boys will never admit that Windows is good & somewhat better then Mac. Well, at the end of the day we Windows users are enjoying the games, maximum ammount of 3rd party hardware support, 3rd party software support, running it on the PC of our choice , running it the way we want it (Default or disected)....umm, it is our OS & we make the rules how it should run. Whether default Icon or Vista shell patch, Windows is not the OS which makes us change our habits, we change Windows to our needs.
