Microsoft has amassed a worldwide fortune of around $43 billion. Now for the first time the company are to pay dividends to investors. Shareholders will get around 8 cents a share. This gives Bill Gates, with 1.2 billion shares a payout of $99.5 million. Which is nice. CNN.

:eek:

I've just started writing an OS.

Microsoft really needs some serious competition in the OS department :p to knock some sense into them ... crazy chargeing $300 for Xp Pro (retail price) and for EACH computer ... you cant even install it on a 2nd computer without haveing to buy another lisense

I read recently that M$ have refunded the equivalent of $30 'per copy' or so to California Windows OS users. That was nice. :)
