Think about it...

Postby flyboy 28 » Sun Jan 11, 2004 11:40 am

Lets say theres 10932 people registered here. Multipy that by about the average price of $50 of all the M$ Flight Sims, and that averages out to $546,600! :o

And people wonder how Bill Gates is so rich...::)

And that's only on Flight Sim. Think about the other products M$ offers... XP, mice, keyboards, moniters, other games... It just simply astounds me... :)

Interesting:

I live on a small rural gravel road about 12 miles long.

There are 4 farms on this road.

Last count was 21 people with 1 in the basket.

There are 8 computers on the road and all I believe are less than 2 years old.

HMMMM...I can see the dollars adding up now.

Cheers......Happy Landings......Doug

I will not get into much detail but you are making an assumption here which may not hold true... lol

It should be said that in business terms & particularly a business the size of MS  - this sum is chickenfeed. They probably spend that every 30 minutes or less  in overheads. Of course they earn millions in the same time ;)

Think about the amount even if everyone gave only $1 for anything with the M$ name on it they have in their home!

Not only that, but all the people who have one or more PCs with Windows, not to mention thousands of businesses who purchase computers, MS operating systems, and other MS software by the bulk
