Microsoft profits from license changes technews.netscape.com While on the surface it appears that the price of Microsoft's products has remained relatively flat the past two years, the company is finding new revenue from saturated markets such as desktop software and increasing their take in the back-office arena through the backdoor tactic of changing licensing contracts.
