Wow, If I knew Programming...

How's that for a real world emoticon? Eat that angelfire.

Anyway, I'm going to rant about, you guessed it (or not...most likely) Microsoft. Guessed it? Didn't think so. If you did, have yourself a piece of cheesecake from the cheesecake factory. And be sure to buy the $50 cake. Don't be a penny pincher, cause pennypinchers just look funny, because the penny is never going to get smaller (damn your technicalities).

Well, first things first, Microsoft. If I could program, I would spend a good 3 days of programming and create an operating system that would basically be as good as windows 95, but see, mine would be a lower featured version. Why I would do this is that, every week or so, I'd create a plug-in for it that would either give it a new feature or make it look better. Then, once every 10 or 20 plug-ins, I would sell update discs for a dollar per disc. What most people don't get is that if you build a good operating system (by good, I mean sturdy and not extremely buggy) and sell it at a low price, it will sell extremely well. And with all the customers who buy it, you would have a wide market for frequent update discs at low low prices but still have a very large revenue.

I could give out generalized statistics (and will), like 1 in 4 families having a computer and, on average (based on a 5 person per family estimate and 350 million people in the U.S. [assuming that extra languages is too much of a hassle), it's a 17.5 million person industry. And let's just assume that only 1%, wait no, lets go lower, .1% buy your OS. That's 1,750,000 people buying your disc at lets say $20 (even $10) a disc. That's a lot of money, and when you factor in the update discs, holy crap. The income is insane.

Now, you see my point. If Microsoft wasn't a bunch of money grubbing whores, not only would they have less problems with pirating, but also, a still insane amount of revenue (they'd still have 50-60% of the computer buying community to sell to). Maybe not ungodly amounts, but still enough to buy Canada.

I'm done, and if I owned Microsoft, I'd buy Canada.
