Then you don't know the breadth and depth of MS software then. I'm not a fanboy of either MS or Apple, but MS has a huge software catalog. If you're lucky, you'll get Windows & Office on a new Windows PC. If you're unlucky, you'll get MS Works instead of Office. While these are the revenue pillars of MS, they alone barely scratch the surface of what they offer. Just go to
www.microsoft.com (when did MS' homepage get a facelift?) and hover over "All Products". This will start to give you an idea of the different software sectors (from Office to Visual Studio to MS Dynamics, MS Expression to Encarta, games, etc.) MS is in.
