That can't be completely right.
There is some other report out that UK (60 odd million people)
waste 1.6 Billion a DAY fighting their computer for reboots,
printer working, etc. etc.. Same old windopz crap.
Map that to usa and the problem is magnified many fold because
of the population and because its a more technology reliant country.
Some consultants ought to do a serious study and get into
the limelight with how much usa is wasting by sticking to windopz.
