Who cares! I think Mary Jo has got her point across, which is one reason as to why you replied. Ballmer is so worried about throwing his garbage over into another neighbor's backyard such as Google, who instead needs to worry about his own and clean it up. Does it really matter for the fact that they have 4 or 400? Microsoft states that they are giving consumer choice with their desktop version fiasco, instead they have seen a way to gather more money from upgrades. At least now they get money from the PC makers and the consumers that need an OS upgrade, instead of being able to deliver something comparable to the hardware. Microsoft will only deliver a software model that maintains or gains monetary momentum, period! Windows 7 was Vista SP3! Their Windows 7 version was forced upon them from real innovation happening at Apple with the Mac OS, and that's why they even delivered something like Vista. Not to offer every Vista user the option to upgrade for 50 dollars or less is more confirmation as to their desire to maintain this unhealthy monetary momentum. Microsoft will go bankrupt from within and no this is not about dollars and more about "sense".
