I think I'll call it the "BRIC Block"... Oh... wait. I should add in Nigeria too... The "BRINC Block"... Uhh... Seriously though. Should we be overly impressed that countries that, added together, represent more than half the world's population now account for 5% of Microsoft's revenue? Sure, it might be an improvement, and there's certainly room to grow, but we've been hearing about the "surging" consumer markets in China and India for over a decade now. Call me a sceptic, but I'm gonna hold off on brushing up on my Mandarin until I see a bit more evidence.
Cool, Ballmer actually did something usefull... He gave us a neat sounding acronym for four of the countries I'm most likely to block from sites that allow user input...
