Windows Vista is good for the "ecosystem" of New York
An interesting study commissioned by Microsoft , published shortly before the official presentation of Windows Vista. A small excerpt from it is provided on the Micromarkets blog . The study talks about the financial prospects of the OS development company and those 16,000 New York IT firms that produce their products on its basis.
In 2007, in New York, every dollar Microsoft earned from selling Windows Vista would turn out to be $ 19 in revenue for the ecosystem around Microsoft. In its first year of selling Windows Vista, the ecosystem in New York sells more than $ 7 billion worth of Windows Vista-related products and services.
