"For every 1 dollar MS makes the rest of the world makes 18..."

Funny that.

Where does this money come from?

The qoute would make more sense if it read "For every $1 of revenue
generated for Microsoft, the consumer spends $18"

Seems like a more lucid statement to me. Microsoft doesn't "make" money -
the governments of the world "make" money, and they create it because of the
efforts of the populace to purchase things.

And while it's true that that one dollar of earned revenue for Microsoft
creates eighteen dollars of earned revenue for other companies, that isn't
the point. Without consumption there is no revenue.

So what this actually says is that Microsoft is in fact an exceptionally
inefficient company based on consumer costs. Either Microsoft needs to
reformat their company so that they can retrieve more of that revenue
generate outside their walls, or they need to create products which create
fewer adjuntive costs to the consumer.

As Michael Crichton has become fond of pointing out "Nobody considers the
costs."

Many, but aparently not you, know this for a well known fantasy.
Perhaps a little research:
