I dunno.  I read this one a couple years back and it hasn't changed.  I'm skeptical now.  MS seems to be in very solid financial standing, with what, ten billion in liquid cash hoarded?  And XP sales keep on going...

I could be wrong, though.

Damn, my head is spinning. Someone put this in laymen's terms cuz I don't really get it. It seems to defy all fucking logic that 35% percent of profits come from software. That would be fine except SOFTWARE IS MOSTLY WHAT MS OFFERS TO THE CONSUMER! See how fucked up capitalism is?

Ummm anyways, apparently Lazy is not l33t enough to comprehend this article(well it was semi-understood)... or perhaps the writer was not l33t enough to put it in english.  ;)

Good point about it being a few years old, but that certainly doesn't meant that it couldn't be true.  Take everything for what it is, an opinion.  Only trustworthy sources can establish fact, but define "trustworthy"......ah, what a convoluted process.
If someone had pointed out years ago how worldcom was essentially a pyramid scam, no one would have believe them.  We all know how that one turned out.  Checkout this (http://www.beyondvalueinvesting.com/articles/worldcompyramidscheme.htm)link for some insight.
