If Microsoft dropped the price of full XPPro to, say, $10, they would completely clean up. Alternatively make it free and charge $5 per year for updates.

A nice idea, but MS would not clean up by doing this. Some people just don't want MS products for whatever reason.

3,016 (in millions)

Cash and equivalents, end of year
6,438 (in millions)

Frankly, they know what they are doing when they make 3.422 BILLION dollars in one year...
