Did you read your own graphic? It shows Windows as the source of roughly 30% of their revenue. That is hardly "their principal cash cow". The post you commented on was correct in stating that 'business' and 'servers' comprise significantly larger chunks of their business totaling 55%.
Working at Best Buy does not qualify you as a "network technician". If you do not fall into CyprusBlue's categorization of people that feel comfortable while sitting behind a stateful firewall product then you should pursue a new line of work. I bet that it's is relatively "safe" selling microwaves over in the appliance section. Oh wait...they have ip addresses you can be scared of exposing too! Oh Noes!

Can you read? "Free from regulation" does not mean "elimination of net neutrality". Net neutrality regulation is useful in wired networks because consumers can't speak with their wallets by changing providers in many areas due to very limited competition. In the wireless space they can, making a regulation free market the best option to allow providers to tweak the most performance out of the limited bandwidth available in wireless spectrum.
They didn't bow at all. In Google's own words in the article's comment section:
This piece suggests that Google has "bowed" to censorship. That is not correct. We have been very clear about our committment to not censor our products for users in China. The products we have kept on Google.cn (Music, Translate, Product Search) do not require any censorship by Google. Other products, like web search, we are offering from Google.com.hk, and without censorship

I think that this approach should become the industry standard for retaliation against malware. What better way to force complacent users to cleanup their machines than to disable them?
Less botnets = more bandwidth for the rest of us.
Sorry dude, from Microsoft:
Physical Memory Limits: Windows 7
The following table specifies the limits on physical memory for Windows 7.
Windows 7 Ultimate 4 GB 192 GB
Windows 7 Enterprise 4 GB 192 GB
Windows 7 Professional 4 GB 192 GB
Windows 7 Home Premium 4 GB 16 GB
Windows 7 Home Basic 4 GB 8 GB
Windows 7 Starter 2 GB 2 GB
"Current generation hardware"? Seriously, how many machines in this very small sample set are using i series intel chips? The way windows 7 was marketed, I'd bet that many of these machines were upgraded XP boxes. Top that with the 32 bit memory caps and people's general hesitation to install a 64 bit desktop OS, and I am not surprised at all that many machines are hitting memory saturation.
Add to that that the Windows 7 interface leads to leaving more apps open at any given time than the XP interface...
The advertising bubble will pop right after people stop acting like sheep. So long as the majority of consumers do what they are told to do advertising dollars are safe, and so are our "free" Google services. In reality they aren't free, it's a free market barter of our usage information for their tools and apps.
Why isn't the abundance of Helium-3 more of a selling point for the return to the moon? Especially with the recently/.'d mention of the impending shortage earth-side.

Can you say Pandora? It's flash based and there is extensive support using dedicated hardware.

I work for a wholesale building materials distributer with ~400 employees and ~300m in sales. IT is a department of 5 reporting to the CFO.
Ummm how about 'frak' in Battlestar? No uproar there, but that's prolly because these Jesus freaks don't approve of Sci-Fi in general.
