Strange the guy would say that considering that the Entertainment and Devices Division which was a drain on the company is now making money and the warranty issues were paid for in advance last year. It's almost like his article is 6 months out of date.
If he sees problems with Microsoft with it's record revenue and profits it'll be interesting to see what he says about Sony which will likely lost many hundres of millions of dollars because of the PS3. |
Investors should be more well informed than to think MS entertainment division is making money since it is actually losing money. It's just losing money set aside for it that won't count on this year's (or next year's) financial reports. Once that money is exhausted, MS will have to do something else which will wipe away its "profits" in that division. |
As I said the money was set aside, the repairs are already paid for. Newer systems are more reliable than older ones and it's pretty obvious that as the components become smaller the problem will completely disappear (if it's not already gone now with the newer systems).
As for people not wanting to upgrade their operating systems that will obviously change over time as newer PCs have more memory, more powerful cpus and gpus, etc.
