The new warranty will represent a $1 billion pre-tax charge on Microsoft's earnings for the year's final quarter. This marks a notable setback for the company's Entertainment & Devices division, who reported a $315 million operating loss in the third quarter. So why do people think this is a good thing for Micrsoft? Also i would not look for a price cut from them anytime soon.
