But this is just looking at individual pieces of the puzzle mate and I'll explain what I'm trying to say shortly.  I've worked in market research for a number of years, and this by any means is a bad report.  First of all, Microsoft stock price dropped by 8% today.  That socks for investors, and this happened because....

 

Revenue was just reported as23,796,000,000 vs 26,144,000,000 a year ago or a drop of 8.9% from a year ago.  

 

Earnings were reported at 4,998,000,000 vs 5,790,000,000 a year ago or a drop of 13.6%  

 

Questions?  If the site owners want to get in contact with me, they can do so through my listed email with the account registration, i might be able to offer this website some work.

 

I've worked in market research for a number of years and have experience with research in consumer electronics, digital media, ane-commerce.

You're 20... "a number of years"? 

Anyhow.... if you were so skilled and knowledgable you would take your own advice and see past just those headline financials and look at causes.  But you didnt, so I can only assume you arent.

A lot of analysts as well as myself are disappointed with the results; we've been expecting and wanting more.  The reasons for this are usually thought to be the result of the decline of the pc, and software related to it.  You don't have double digit growth in Office anymore, if I remember correctly, it grew just 1% with this report.  

 

As far as myself and my knowledge go, I could care less what you think and please feel free to give as many snide comments in here as you like, after all you're only throwing trash in yo ur own thread, it hurts me none.  I also would just have skipped over this thread if you didn't just cherry pick the facts and slides you gave.  You need to show how the results compare with previous quarters, you should post a few articles analyzing what happened and what to expect from Microsoft in the future.  And if the people that make a similar thread about Sony cherry pick it's results, I'll offer facts that allow one to put the numbers in context as well.  Equal treatment.
