Microsoft Reports Record Revenue Quarter
Ricardo Trejo
Microsoft reports this quarter they've earned more than $19 billion dollars in revenue, and it's all thanks in part to fan favorite, Windows 7; Selling over 60 million copies since its release in late October, the sleek and sexy operating system has become the fastest selling OS ever released. Turning popular opinion on its head, Windows 7 gave Microsoft another chance at life and made the common PC user think twice before switching over to a MAC - and how could you blame them for considering it after the monstrosity that was Vista, and all those quirky yet lovable "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads - we heart you John Hodgman.
Windows 7 made owning a PC fun again, and it's given some credibility back to a company that appeared down and beaten. I'm not trying to sound like an ad here myself, but I love everything about Windows 7, and if you haven't gotten the chance to upgrade yet you really should consider it. And as a dedicated PC user, I doubt I'll ever switch exclusively to a Mac because of it... that is unless Apple wants to start sponsoring us and hand me a Macbook Pro to try out, which in that case I might not toot Microsoft's horn so much. Hey, I've been defending the iPad left and right all over the internets these passed few days - I think I deserve some recognition!
