Loss of sales is always a calculated risk. I have seen products dropped where I work and in each case, management has calculated the risk of customers moving to competing products. Microsoft would have been stupid to not do the same. They probably have a very good idea of what those numbers are and still determined that the decision was worth it.

>No, My english is bad, but no so bad. If I wanted to say this I have said "MS will loose ... " and I didn't say that. I put you a sample. Anyhow this is a real fact, MS will loose Windows sales. How much? Time will decide.
