Not for Microsoft. Look at this statement:
Microsoft reported record revenue for the last quarter Thursday due to increased sales of personal computers.
Microsoft doesn't sale personal computers. Companies like Dell, HP, IBM,... are out there busting their hump to sell hardware, while M$ sits back and rakes in the cash. M$ use to (and probably still does) make money off a computer sale from these vendors, regardless if M$ software is even loaded on the machine.
