Strong sales of Office and Windows software help fuel profit!

The division responsible for Microsoft's longtime surefire profit engine,
the Windows operating system, posted a 16 percent rise in earnings to
$3.22 billion in the quarter!

The company sold 50 million Vista licenses in the quarter, for a total
of 190 million since the operating system's January 2007 launch!

Windows Vista and Office 2007 - A HUGH SUCCESS!

Feel the WOW:

Windows Vista - The best operating system in the universe!




But the results are WORSE than expected, leading to a FALL in stocks value.

Microsoft has sucked as an investment for the last decade. I've held
on to a small holding, (a few hundred shares) but I've dumped the rest
a long time ago. Several reasons, Gates' departure, the rise of the
idiot Steve Ballmer and the growing realization that Microsoft's time
in the sun is fading. Microsoft really isn't a growth company anymore.
The way they tried and failed to take over Yahoo is just the latest in
a long list of failures. Even Gates and Ballmer have admitted Vista
sucks and isn't what they hoped it would be. Office, once a flagship
product now is blah at best, and for most free alternatives are just
as good. On the gaming side Microsoft can't get it's act together.
What's left to excite investor's? Another version of Windows in the
next 18 months? Oh wow, I can hardly wait.
As far as profit being up, so what? Microsoft while being a cash rich
corporation pays a piss poor dividend of only 1.74% or about half of
what you can get with a bank CD with no risk. For the clueless, a
corporation that has a market cap of $237 billion to be so cheap
speaks volumes.

Much smaller corporations pay a much higher dividend and offer a much
better growth potential. What's always so damn funny to me is the same
conclusion can be reached about the dopes that post here regardless if
the topic is computers or investing, MOST KNOW NOTHING!


That one share of MSFT your mom gave you is proly the only stock you'll ever own.


One share more than you can afford.

Sorry sheep-fukker, but being broke and not being able to even afford Vista is your claim to fame.

No, you lying like this is your claim to fame. The only sheep I ever see are chunks of flesh in the meat market. Of course, you know that but it won't prevent you from your claim to fame: a wanker who lies through his teeth.


I love the way an idiot fool like you calls SB and "idiot".


Is that because you and Steve Monkey Man Ballmer are identical twins?

Another jealous fool making fun of one of the most successful people in the world.
Figures.

Why, because he's rich?


Or is it because Steve Ballmer has a lot of wimpy dollars?

"wimpy dollars', that a loser like you will never have!...LOL!
Loser!

No, wanker, I make euros and there's a reason so many Europeans do their shopping in New York City.

Because they know quality ?

Because they are lost ?

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt! Wrong. Not only are you a racist, you're clueless. Not exactly a winning combination, old sport.

Alias


Racist ?

You don't know the difference between observation and racism.
Fall back on an ever available crutch.

You have said that someone who speaks Spanish should be a gardener. Care to explain?

This should be good.

Alias


All the gardeners in my area speak spanish ... some form or another (they have different dialects).
Many are from Mexico, some from Central America.
Like I said...observation.
What is...is.

In MY life...it is an uncouth language spoken by the general laborers.

You'll like this...people with blond hair, blue eyes like myself don't converse in it regularly.
