I read about Google I while ago, it seems they have quite a few PC's as well.
I suppose I could Google "how many Pc's does Google have" !

Imagine being the computer salesman that sells those 10,000 PCs to Microsoft each month.
Do you want XP or Vista on them ?
Do you want 10,000 exactly ?
What day do you want me to deliver them on.
Will you be paying by cheque or shall we put them on your account ?

Wonder how many Petabytes of HDD space they have. Or what's the next one up from Peta? I can never remember. :D
