Compatibility drives down PC costs | |

Why does software cost so much? Software vendors--and I'm not just talking about Microsoft here--will tell you it is because R&D costs so much. Well R&D does, but Microsoft didn't save up $40 billion of cash in the bank by pumping all its software revenues into research, and something tells me the money didn't all come from sales of keyboards, mice and SideWinder joysticks. | ||
