Iamgine if Apple was allowed to carry over it's December sales into this last quarter and count it as this quarter's revenues! They would have posted a 300% rise in net come!!

Hey, people fell for it. Another question to ask Ballmer: How many XBox 360's are in living rooms vs sitting in dusty warehouses in the back of CompUSA? I know the answer is "a lot", but I've also heard that MSFT has been "stuffing the channel". “since when is a company allowed to count four months of income in a three month span ( the 1st calendar quarter in 2007) and call it a 68% increase in income????”

As far as the for month quarter goes... that seems pretty low, even for Microsoft. Yeah, I guess its easy to count an xbox as sold once it’s delivered to a retailer.

Any bets on negative sales for Vista next quarter?

Even my mother knows, there is some new exciting thing from Microsoft. And as I saw the system working, it is really not bad. Looks like Mac OS X. I think, the sales of Windows Vista will be growing.

Sales of Vista will grow, especially because Microsoft will eventually stop selling XP leaving Windows users no other option. (Other than switching to a Mac!) I know that the corporate world is a bit hesitant to adopt Vista, but the IT departments will only be able to hold out for so long. Eventually management will begin to feel the need to be on the cutting edge (at any cost) and start pressuring IT to upgrade. Everyone knows that big corporations suffer from inferiority complexes, which will drive the uneducated to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars upgrading to Vista. Its a sad world... For those Windows users at least :) I agree with Andie. Sales of Vista will grow, especially because Microsoft will eventually stop selling XP leaving Windows users no other option.

I almost have my company convinced to buy Mac Pros and install XP on them so we can run CAD, but it would be a lot simpler if there was a good professional CAD program for the mac. (I am looking for something on the SolidWorks level) I know it would be a terrible shame to only run XP on nice new Mac Pros, but I figure a mac with XP on it is better than no mac at all and the price is better than a Dell.

The last time I used CAD was in high school to draw a few circles in AutoCAD, lol. If I were you I'd see if someone one on of these 3 forums could answer your question. http://forums.appleinsider.com/ http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/ http://forums.macnn.com/ You know, unfortunately I don’t know a whole lot about CAD and even less about the Mac spin offs of CAD.
