201525 2003-12-20 21:35:00 Yes I saw that artilce in the Herald re Mico$ofts profits in NZ versus Australia and the maths is quite easy, you can do it your head.

They are making much more out of us than our Aussie cousins. Why is this and How is this ?

Are they charging more over here ?

But in general I agree that they do make good software, eventually, and that they need to make a profit. I just wish upgrades to Office would not be so expensive now that they are on verison 11 and there are not many improvements or advances that could be made.

But if I was Bill, I would be spewing with the advances that Linux is making in the Government sector all over the world.

One cannot match Free !
