you jump to conclusions, almost as fast as 'duck does...
the numbers show nothing of the number of pcs per person, per capita, or per household... either in the US vs Europe...
so basing your conclusions solely on population, and not correlating it with per capita usage is flawed...
can't you see this...
in short, if a typical US person has 2 or 3 computers vs a typical European who has 1 computer... your conclusions go out the window...
if a typical person in the US buys more computers over a shorter period than that same typical person in Europe, your conclusions go out the window...
can you see what i'm talking about...
you can't just go around saying that because per capita sales are this amount, and Europe has over twice as many people as the US does, then it is safe to conclude that they are consuming more computers and computer related goods and services (in particular those from MS)...
that is kind of simplistic reasoning is what i'm talking about...
