Three, MSFT has >90% of the wintel PC market share, so it may grow only at a rate slightly exceeding that of the wintel PC market (17% by some estimates). BGR, actually this represents only the lower end of its potential growth. 1) Its only the OS part of its business. 2) 17% represents only new PC purchases. 3) Upgrades, upgrades, upgrades. Your jaw would drop if you knew how much of corporate America still used Win3.1 and NT3.51. 4) Thats not even taking into account retail upgrades for consumers from 3.1, win95, etc. I agree with you regarding DELLs future, is is evident from my posts here, but don't short change MSFT <g>.
