I estimate every MS Office Windows user saves 30 minutes per day processing
information, versus using the old, cumbersome DOS equivalents.

100,000,000 MS Office users worldwide (actually more)
x $7.50 savings per day (using $15.00/hour salary)
x 250 work days per year
x 10 years (rounded, since intro of Office)
----------------------------------------------
100,000,000 x $7.50 x 250 x 10 = $1,875,000,000,000 (1.875 trillion
dollars)

Holy Shit! That's the financial contribution made to the world by MS Office
alone!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Try again.

Most of your 100 million are in Asia and earn $1.00 a month.

I estimate an M$ IT person causes 10 working days to be lost
per 10 staff per week fixing M$ bugs, viruses, and doing re-installs.
I estimate 10 M$ people lose $5000 of business data every week.

Yeah, but Clippy wastes 45 minutes every day -- so there's a net loss of 15
minutes.

GOOD GOD!

It is not true that Microsoft doesn't innovate.

They brought us the email virus.

In my Atari days, such a notion would have |||

Given that you pull the numbers from a dark and smelly location, no one
wants to even touch them...

Free clue. Making up numbers may work for monthly status meetings at
work, but it's not too successful in the real world.

You forgot to subtract the hour a day that the user has to spend dealing
with viruses, system crashes, defraging.... That would mean MS would have
taken $1,875,000,000,000 _FROM_ the world's economy!
