why does micosoft make so much money?

Because they make products that so many people use.  They constantly improve their products.  They are an international corporation.  Too many reason, but the main one is Bill Gates is a brilliant businessman.

Something like the $100 laptop project? Well Bill Gates didn't like it, probably because it does not generate money for him XD\n\n\nI think manefacturing inexpensive PC is not something impossible, technology in Computers World get cheaper every 6 months, we can use a sempron package with 256mb of ram and the cheapest HD available (20GB?)  and get a free OS (Linux) and free office suite ( OpenOffice ) and that's that!

Hi there,\nI did quixtar, followed the system. I t was too much hard work and too expensive, get out while the gettting's good!!!

This is an interesting question with interesting answers.\n\n- You see some people really dont work for money. They are trying to solve a problem that bugs them and they appreciate people who would help them solve it. This can be one motivation for writing open source stuff.\n\n- Another approach to this to take a hard problem (like say an OS), realise that multiple people have done things that together can be collected into a reasonable solution the same, package the same (obviously add some of your own stuff to that) and then give away the solution for free. Per se, this problem is so complicated that irrespective of what you do, the customers will pay you to help maintain and upgrade the solution. This is getting paid for maintaining the service and not the original solution. This motivates companies like Redhat etc.\n\n- Another approach is that sometime an opensource solution helps a huge corporation and they pay you to make the solution. That way they can access the source code, tune their services to your code and together build a formidable software. IBM used this approach to support Linux and make it work with their DB2 etc.\n\n- Also, a lot of open source stuff gets funded in the later stages via public support since too many people find it useful. Apache foundation is an example that comes to mind\n\n- Also some opensource products get sold out to other corporations and that helps them make more money. JBoss being bought out by Redhat is an example of this\n\n- Some opensource stuff can use display of advertisements to get money.\n\nThese are some things I can think from the top of my head. Hope this helps!

Seems to be a lttle scary.  If this system was so good why would he have to sell it to make money.  The whole feel of this web site makes me very concerned.\n\nMy suggestion/opinion...... Stay away from all "systems".

Yeah, it's sad how much of a profit these people make on this stuff.  Even if they made very little to no profit on items they have on sale, it's not worth a $1000 markup!

I have never worked with this company before, but I take it you're looking to earn some fast cash.\nI've started a great business earning over $2000 per month, part time.  Depends on your interests...\n\nhttp://www.loveofjewels.com

Adsense is more than WORTHWHILE for us. \n\nI suggest you read "8 Tips for Maximizing Contextual Advertising Revenues" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol146/contextual.htm as it might give you some ideas on how to improve your Adsense earnings.\n\nTo prove that people are indeed making money with Adsense (and we're talking of millions, not hundred dollars), here's a thread at WebmasterWorld of a website owner who made a MILLION in 3 months with Adsense. \n\nhttp://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/12751.htm\n\nThe webmaster's name is Markus Finch and his website is http://www.plentyoffish.com/ , a free online dating service.

To be honest. Not much. The desktop market is just too saturated. I would look at donating it to a charity. You get a better tax write off than going through the hassle of trying to sell it, while helping out folks in need. Win-win. TX

It is less expensive to purchase something that is mass produced, rather than custom made.\n\nTechnical support is also less expensive.

Mannatech is very healthy for whomever talks you into buying this very overpriced supplement because the incredible mark up allows the seller to not have to get a real job while they continue to sell pipe dreams to the emotionally vulnerable.\n\nhttp://www.lerachlaw.com/lcsr-cgi-bin/mil?case=mannatech\n\nForget Mannatech and treat yourself to a very nice vacation.

It's best to NEVER respond to these. Microsoft didnt become a multi-billion dollar corporation by giving easy money away. This is either a scam, spam, or both.

It is very possible and very easy, it just is probably not very profitable.  There are about a bazillion people already doing this and that makes it very competitive.  Very competitive in price is not very good for profits.
