That's not a valid assumption. The Win9x is about $90 out of the computer cost. This was the same when computers were 2 and 3 thousand dollars. Today's computers are 699 and up yet MSFT still gets $90 per box.

This doesn't bode well for MSFT's future.

People will figure out this snake-oil-smoke-and-mirrors game and at that point, MSFT will be toast.

Enjoy your "profits" while you can.

FWIW
