Microsoft expects over 1 billion PCs running Windows by 2010, with the number currently eclipsing 600 million, according to Microsoft Watch. Will Poole, head of the Windows client group, made the remarks at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, citing enterprise demand for upgrades. Poole also demonstrated a "Zero Touch" deployment tool for Windows XP and the upcoming Windows Marketplace offering drivers, software and peripherals.
Hmmm... don't be so sure, Bill. Already, many government agencies and corporations have seen the benefits of moving to Linux, and many more will in the future.

Poor ol Bill, so strapped for money. WindowsXP $300 x 1billion copies. Better get those warez people because they are draining you dry. NOT.
