2009 Windows Mobile OPEX
According to Microsoft’s investor relations manager, Bill Koefoed, The company is planning to invest $1B in reseach & developement for Windows Mobile this year. Microsoft is going to spend $9b in total R&D this year and last year’s Windows Mobile OPEX was $0.9B (R&D, sales and marketing) so I expect this year’s OPEX to be around $1.4B.
