OK, let's say they sell 100 million copies. Let's say they also have 5,000 employees who make an average $30,000 a year.
10 million copies * $100 = $100,000,000
5000 * $30,000 = $150,000,000
Damn, these numbers just don't work out very well for you now do they?
I'm looking for accurate MS employment figures, BTW, I have no clue what they really are. But I'd imagine they have at least 5,000 people.

no, but if they sold 100 million like you said at first:
100 million copies * $100 = $1,000,000,000
10,000 employees * *60,000 = 600,000,000
that seems pretty reasonable to me
and once again, they don't only make money off of the sale of the operating system itself!
