I don’t know that I would take two guys that go visit some ODM (original design manufacturer) in Taiwan as a reference on what the market looks like. I would gather a lot of information and then decide what you think that it looks like.” reminded Oppenheimer conference attendees that Microsoft has sold 175 million Windows 7 licenses and that business upgrades to Windows 7 are starting to happen now.

Youngjohns also downplayed the worries and noted that Microsoft has enterprise cash cows it can lean on. From a transcript of his remarks: can’t really comment on what we’re seeing from these numbers. I mean, they’re relatively new out there and we have our own assessment that we do and we talk about on a quarterly basis, in terms of our views of the market. I mean clearly our business is connected to the number of PCs that get sold. But, I think at the same time we have significant ability to sell other stuff related to the Laptop infrastructure. A substantial part of our business in North America is selling infrastructure software like Windows Server 2008,Windows 7 X86, like SQL Server, like System Center, the stuff that runs the enterprise not just the Personal computer, and that’s a business that I think continues to be attractive to us.”
