im not a Windows or an Apple

im not a Windows or an Apple fan boy. (warning given in advance) i love both companies the same. different ways of managing resources. but i do think you people are quite wrong. in the business world, may it be millions, billions or trillions, it doesn't matter. it's the ratios that matter. that billions you're talking about, if your an investor, won't go to you in full. it will be divided among the stockholders. the thing that an investor is looking for isn't the face value. so what if you earned 1 million but your investment was a billion (exaggerating)? i think its better to earn a thousand for a thousand investment.

all i'm saying is, please refrain from making those statements again. you'll just give the other side a chance to retaliate.

and one more thing, how would you expect this Windows-Apple war to end when you retaliate to each stupid statement? revenge will bring only more revenge. get it? we should even be thankful that there is competition. competition forces the competitors to improve their products. and i think, and i am sure many will agree, it will benefit us all. a product with no competitor will stay as is for it will think "you can't do anything no matter how i price myself. you need me. and you don't have a choice."

 please. just be open-minded and accept the facts. don't retaliate unless it brings too much harm.

this is normal for when a new OS release is right around the corner.

I love when you look at the MAC fan by blogs about stuff like this.
They really dwell on MS's profits be less but won't mention it still 3 Billion.
Then say how Apple's profits are better this quater even tho it's only in the millions.

 It's all how you word it I guess, but I'd take the 3 billion anyday.....8)

"Microsoft also imputed the decline to “a $276 million deferral for the Windows 7 Upgrade Option program”. 

What's the matter- they couldn't do the math?   I jumped on the great deal right away.
