microsoft earnings disaster

Quote from loza:

ok, I know IBM and MSFT a little bit...I worked for both.
IBM in my humble opinion was always concerned with quality, first and foremost...their laptops were the BEST (too bad they sold it off) but they made quality stuff and still do (for the most part)
More...

Gotta agree with that. I worked on a joint project with some people from IBM Hursley, UK. Capable, always professional and helpful. Only interested in getting the job done without finger pointing and other such nonsense. And their lab was absolutely gigantic and well equipped. Really good experience.
 
Operating system revenue is down 39% this quarter verus last year. I know Windows 7 is coming out, but are we to attribute it to just Windows 7?

This seems unusually high. I dont think PC shipments dipped that much, servers were only down 30%..

Seems very strange.

Looks like OS is no longer the biggest piece of revs anymore its #3!

I didnt read the whole release yet, so maybe they explain it. I suspect they are heavy discounting to keep windows moving
