Flabergasted!

From the Washington Post:

But when Boies asked him to identify what portion of Microsoft's profits come from the sale of its operating system vs. other products, Schmalensee said he could not provide a precise number because Microsoft doesn't use computers to track the data.

"They record operating system sales by hand on a piece of paper," he said. "The state of Microsoft's internal accounting systems don't always rise to the level of sophistication one might expect from a firm as successful as it it."

Bwah! (sputter sputter) Wha! HUH!?! WHAT!?!?

They've got to be kidding!
