Asides in D, "..profits come from hardware sales in Microsoft" ... could be wrongly construed as " Over 80% of Apple's profits comes from hardware sales, whereas less than 10% of (Apple's) profits come from hardware sales in Microsoft" ... more like sale of Apple hardware in Microsoft. Which is wrong

Hi DeeBee54, I followed the exact same reasoning: the prepositional phrase "In Microsoft" coming after "hardware sales" seems to modify the sales themselves, making it seem like 10% of Apple's profits come from selling hardware sales in Microsoft.

This modifier placement error distorts the intended meaning of the sentence.
