Shipped vs. Sales

To put the fine point on it:

M$ quotes their "shipped" ledger, but, not on the SEC reports! There, it is a mis-representation leading to government AUDIT!

I know that 1% is damaged goods!

Well, I run all Open Source OSes, and consider M$ 100% "damaged goods"!

Then, normal return for no sales usually is upto 10%!

Let's add the industry standard 5% for Theft, and other losses!

Well, that accounts for as much as 16% of NO SALES!...

No wonder they quote "Shipped" units, and not "Delivered" units!
