Not that Neilsen is noted for actually being correct about dollar figures... :)
The poor quality of Microsoft Windows costs the world economy $170 billion per year in lost productivity due to crashes. This is four times Bill Gates' net worth, so we are not talking pocket change, even for him, if he were forced to cover the cost of his deeds.
I'd call BS, but hey, its too much fun to watch MS get bashed like that. :)
