Looked at the article and the data is for the first week of sales; hardly a barometer for future sales as the article mentioned. Regarding the cheapPC frenzy MSFT will sell OS licenses. A natural path after that is to purchase the Office suite ... since these users have spent less $ on hardware they may be inclined to spend more on software ? Maffei is traditionally overly conservative and tends to overstate negative possibilities. Time will tell. /james
