Are you saying you should stick to Linix based OSs such as Mac?you will find alot of large businesses will still be on win xp. Imagine updating your OS to find all your in-house built applications that your business is run on don't work and you have spent millions - billions on them not to mention the lost revenue/time in reverting back.
Or spending millions more just to upgrade it to the latest fad OS (assuming bug fixes aren't on the agenda) and then spending millions more to iron out other bugs from the upgrade.

all justification for owning microsoft shares, especially with the high AU$ (so long as the purchase has been in recent times and not for 10 years, share price over 10 years hasnt done much, but earnings have been increasing nicely over this period)
Surely you jest? I interpreted this thread to mean that there is no longer any overwhelming reason to upgrade every time Gates (or his successor) tells you to. Had you sold MS ten years ago and bought Apple, you'd be laughin' like a big green frog.
BTW Until very recently MS never paid a dividend. I don't give a rat's about profit held in the company structure to ensure the execs never go without.
