What about all their software that is being sold over the internet at way below retail, MB? Has that caught your eye? Do you think it is small potatoes? -- every time I look at Ebay or Onsale or some other such place there are hundreds of copies of Office & other MSFT sw for sale at way below retail -- some may be bootleg, but a lot is advertised as legit with registration info ... where does all the stuff come from ... distributors that can't sell it? Do you think there could have been over-ordering by PC folks? <g> How would one get a handle on how significant this is?
