I quote: "Overall, more software > revenue is generated on Microsoft Windows operating system than any other > operating environment" I noted something similar when I looked at the site's business case page. They feature a graph of how many billions in revenues there were for various operating systems. Well, from a customer's point of view, that's generally a *bad* thing -- you want the software company to be profitable enough to ensure support and them staying around, but the idea that the max revenue is the best thing is erroneous.
Microsoft's errors will hardly be noticed though. They're playing on the American cultural mores that "more is better" and "greed is good". Those cultural factors combined with most people just briefly skimming the text will ensure that they sucker in many people. Regards, .
