If the computing world were divided up into political factions, Windows would be represented by Red States, Linux by Blue States and Apple users would be trying to keep the Reform Party alive.

Hmmmm. I'd agree with that with one change.

Switch the blue states/red states reference and you've nailed it.

Microsoft. Outdated ideas. No innovation, only copying other's ideas. On it's way out. Just like the Dems.

Yeah, that works better.

His income must be huge as well. 1.5% dividend on $47 billion in Microsoft stock is about $660 million a year in income. $55 million a month. About $2 million a day.

$23/second, 24 hours a day!
