It's a bit too bad they compare revenue of resellers like Amazon with editors like Microsoft, the gross margin is really different. Resellers have to punch over their weight to get some money home where Microsoft brings almost everything to the bank.

Yes, I agree but it's really very difficult to compare companies these days. On the surface, Microsoft, Apple and Google all seem like competitors to each other but they have different businesses underneath and as you said, different gross margins. However, I don't think you can truly find businesses that are almost identical when it comes to giant conglomerates.
