I'll believe it when I see it...M$ hasn't missed any numbers, or seen any downturn in revenue estimates, but it's on out of the realm of possibility for them to launch a pre-emptive cut...my question would be where. From the last report, there were no reported lagging divisions to justify a 10,000 person cut, for a company with 91,00 employees...slicing over 10% of your workforce, when you've not missed any quarterly profit targets, and you're in a battle to retain good people against google would be huge. The morale hit alone would be titanic, but stranger things have happened.
