That is, make his new software "need" the new hardware so that PC owners will buy new PCs which will come with his new OS and continue funding MS. His other option is to actually innovate with the software and fix all the bugs yadda yadda and BillG simply can't accept that he is not already "innovating" nor even that there are bugs still to be fixed.

Thar be $$ in selling new CPUs; not so much in selling RAM and bigger hard drives perhaps. Get a new Athlon XP to go with Windows XP and Office XP !!! -- Chris Altmann
