Microsoft Expected To Post Sharp Drop In 3Q Profit Thu
http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20090417-714101.html
- From Microsoft's last quarter:
"Microsoft, like much of the IT industry, was caught off-guard by the rapid
rise of the netbook category, but moved quickly to offer a netbook-specific
version of XP Home to stem the tide of Linux on netbooks. When one considers
that getting some revenue is better than getting none, that was a wise move."

"Client software felt the slump in PC sales, and was further harmed by the
shift to netbooks; many of these run Linux, which helps Microsoft not at all."

"Search engines be da**ed, it's the OS that generates money - if the world
switches to linux, it will switch to OpenOffice too."
