Microsoft Loses $435 Million in Netbooks

Firstly every one knows microsoft rulez.. They involved 90% of net book sale for past couple of years but now (Dated : 24/2/2009) they loses their involvement and down to 70%. They re facing now a big problem in net book sale.

Linux as its competitor was responsible for about $75 million in losses, not terribly scathing for Microsoft. But the figures begin to mount significantly when you consider the cost incurred for XP's lingering domination instead of the hoped for Vista (which accounted for less then two percent of the netbook market). Netbook Digest's calculation was based on a per unit loss of $36 due to XP, multiplied by 10 million netbooks sold in 2008, making $360 million. Add to that the $75 million lost to Linux and you get the $435 million.
