They don't make anywhere near $200 per copy. But I believe it will make a boatload of money. A big portion of 15 million are already sold Office 97's (probably a billion $ worth). Another billion $ probably comes for OEM, and corp. licences which are in fact just a fancy printed paper. Now those are a lot of the advanced copies, but the price is alot closer to $50 each than $200.

I also known that the market will be flooded with CE based hand held PC starting in the end of 1999. In the past due to the shortage of LCD panels, controlled by Japan and Korea, the manufacturers can't deliver as many hand held pcs as the order they received; however, things will be changed pretty soon due to 8 new LCD panel fabs will come on line in Taiwan for production by the end of 1999 ( Sample test already started at this point) and more is coming. As a result, the hardware shortage will come to an end.
