Microsoft We all know that Microsoft doesn't actually make computers. It makes the software, and then lets an almost infinite amount of manufacturers build computers that can run its software. These manufacturers often make a mess of things, delivering computers filled to the brim with crapware. What would happen if Microsoft made computers? Well, for one, they would be void of crapware. Two, they would help users install the software they want before leaving the store - including software from competitors.

"For future reference, the correct word here is number. Amount is only if what you're describing is better described as a whole, like an amount of sand, rather than a number of apples.


You didn't catch the "infinite"...?
"

Doesn't matter. Even an infinite number of items is still a number, and not an amount.
