Windows 7 To Add Up To $1.5 Billion To Microsoft’s Earnings
« on: March 14, 2009, 04:08:39 AM »
It looks like 2009 is going to be a good year for Bill Gates.  Not only has he reclaimed his place as the World’s richest man ($40bn) thanks to the global financial crisis ousting Warren Buffet who lost $25bn (ouch!) in 2008 , but analysts are also predicting that the launch of Windows 7 could add up to an extra $1.5 billion to Microsoft’s earnings.

Why?  Well because Microsoft will be throwing their entire marketing machine behind encouraging customers to upgrade to more expensive versions of Windows 7.  Selling Operating Systems is big business for Microsoft, accounting for 28% of its $60.4 billion in annual revenue.

No wonder Bill is smiling all the way to the bank….
