Microsoft's big moneymaker is Office. They also make a good margin on
SQL, Exchange, etc.
The desktop market is a drop in the bucket compared to their server side
stuff. I have no doubt that in 5 years, after Linux and OSX become more
prevalent in the market, that Microsoft will make Windows shared/open
source.

That's fair. MS makes most of the money on a Windows OS sale, yet offloads more and more
of the work to it's so called "partners." Don't they understand that if they
make it painful enough to sell Windows, they'll force resellers to sell Linux and OSX?
