I saw the following in NetWork World (May 5, 1997, pg 40) "We see a market explosion for Web servers," said Le Tocq, director and principal analyst at Dataquest's personal computer software program. Dataquest expects NT shipments to total 41.2 million units by 2000. Lets see, Microsoft makes about $300 per NT unit, simple math yields roughly $12B by 2000. Throw in an extra $8B for office, $5B for Windows and $5B for "other" products, and you come up with roughly $30B by 2000. Assuming the numbers could be off by as much as 20%, that would yield income of roughly $25-30B by 2000. From todays revenue totals, that would be a return of 28-35%! Not too shabby. That is why it doesn't matter at what price you buy today. Long term you should make out just fine!
