Computer Demand Boosts MS Profits

elzurawka wrote to mention a BBC article discussing Microsoft's boost in profits as a result of an upswing in PC demand. From the article: "The company announced record revenue of $39.79bn for the fiscal year ending on 30 June, an 8% increase over the $36.84 billion reported last year. The main drivers of sales for Microsoft's Windows, Office and Server software products - PC makers and Asian component manufacturers - have reported healthy demand for PCs."

... um fucktard, goto a local computer shop you trust and ask them to build 40 computers. Not only will it be cheaper and easier to collect [no mailing from Texas for instance] but you can avoid the MS tax easily.

I dunno about you guys but EVERY computer [aside from my laptop since it's hard to buy laptop parts like you can desktop parts] I've bought came either with no HD at all or a blank HD which I loaded [by my choice] DOS, Windows or Linux on.
