Unfortunately not. Microsoft has managed to avoid the publication of all
the reports on these subjects, and has plenty of documents about the
opposite statement (i.e. how expensive are open platforms).
I've seen some of those MS-sponsored documents. :)
The head of software development for a very large European IT firm told
me recently that MS "owes" them a huge amount of money for all the
countless hours of lost productivity caused by Win8's Metro desktop.
I guess I would have to focus on the published site licensing fees.
Analysts do have these data, but will never release them unless you
cover them in gold. Googling about PDF documents on the subject will
find a number of analyst documents, where you can find some hints but no
data.
I'll take a look. Thanks.
