If they cut the price to $199 they would lose billions and it wouldn't help them a lot. The EU price cut didn't give them a big long term boost. |
Im talking about the 1.4 billion dollar fine they imposed on Microsoft last year. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7266629.stm And they still netted over 15 billion dollars in profit.

That's because they release shitty OS like Vista and companies are obliged to pay for 1000 licenses because they fear to use Linux and Mac is even more expansive. The reasons why Microsoft make so much money is because they don't have any competition. Microsoft throws already a lot of money for the XBox to buy exclusives and stuff like that. They have no reason to spend even more.

How do you say that Microsoft has no competition when you just named a free operation system linux and Macintosh!! Last I checked, Apple was also a huge multi-billion dollar corporation making tons of mac vs pc commercials! Oh thats competition! Jobs VS Gates! Hello?? The competion is there dude. People are ridiculous!

despite the mac propaganda, and the populatiry of Linux in online forums, Microsot still owns over 80% marketshare of operating systems which equals BIG money. it is like saying that the New England Patriots have competition if they played a bunch of high school football teams.
