Well, let's put it this way... you don't have 40 billion $'s sitting around for nothing!
Microsoft, unlike most American corporations, does invest for the future... and if you look at the growth in the CE/Mobility revenue category from 2000 to present you understand why they feel this is a good investment. The groundwork is being laid for a "mega" business unit in a few years.
Now, the question in my mind is, what happens to the Mobility group if the Windows/Office divisions start to not do so well? While I think the monopoly of the desktop and office suites won't wither away anytime soon, you've got to wonder.
So the next time I buy a copy of Windows XP or Office XP, I'll remind myself that I'm also investing in my Pocket PC's future! :wink: Yeah, that'll make me feel better about the $'s I'm spending!!!
