Deliveryman, for windows that goes retail for $89, msft gets about half of that from OEMs and bulk corporate accounts. I think office would be similar. The office2000 retail ranges form $209 to $799. Consider the higher volumes will be at the lower end, and also consider the corporate purchases would be the higher priced editions, I expect msft to generate about $150 - $200 for each copy of office2000. That is why 15 million would mean about $3B. MSFT might defer a good chunk of it. I expect office2000 to sell some 100million copies in its life. But a lot of that might come in the first year, say 40million in the first 12 months. That would traslate to some 8 billion in revenues, so I think the potential is really HUGE. This is why MSFT under 100 is a steal. I am betting for MSFT in the 100 to 110 range by end of June ot early July
