Microsoftâs Great Windows 7 Growth Lie
,----[ Quote ]
| This isnât hidden information, itâs in
| Microsoftâs SEC filings and PR reports.
| Windows Enthusiasts know that the companyâs
| Windows licensing revenues and profits hit
| rock bottom as Vistaâs failed launch was
| exacerbated by a global meltdown in PC
| sales during the Great Recession. Things
| havenât recovered much (and simply canât)
| because Microsoft is now selling a much
| larger proportion of low cost Windows
| licenses to a huge influx of cheap netbooks
| rather than selling more expensive Vista/7
| âPremiumâ and âUltimateâ licenses to high
| end PC users, as the company had hoped to
| do.
|
| Even as the PC market refuses to grow as
| dramatically as it once did, the overall
| marketâs ability to sell expensive Windows
| licensing is collapsing because the
| cheapskates looking for a knockoff deal are
| ending up with $300 netbooks rather than
| $700 PCs. Thatâs leaving the entire premium
| PC market to Apple.
|
| And thatâs where the real growth Apple is
| seeingâconsistently year over year, and not
| just in a recovery blip hailed as âgrowthâ
| by disingenuous liarsâis happening. Apple
| is selling higher end, sustainable
| profitable hardware. Appleâs margins are
| much lower than Microsoftâs because the
| company is selling a real product, not just
| licensing software as a tax on PC makers.
