Re: How much $$$ is Microsoft really making with Vista? Hi,
The article points out 15 million copies of Ultimate comes to $6bn -smart business for microsoft.
Then of course, they'd already done a lot of the work for Server 2008 - a sort of industrial version of Vista.
Also, Seven ( or whatever the new o/s will be called) is based on Vista, so they can make that in half the time Vista took - so I guess they save half the development cost .
Curious as to the story on OEM versions - wonder how much the big boys like Acer and Dell pay for each license.
