I wonder what divisions in Microsoft is hurting them. Xbox hut them but not so much that it was a strain on the company, and its a lot better now. I'm guessing its MSN as google keeps gaining marketshare.

Microsoft's earnings are pretty regular as far as I've seen (excluding the entertainment division as we all know). They always make tons of money on Windows/Office, a smaller amount of money on other divisions, and then lose some money on online services and the famous "corporate level activity" which can contain almost anything.

I don't believe these layoffs happen because the company is really hurting, more likely they're taking the opportunity to cut off some fat, while preparing in advance for the economy's continued downturn.

 

Recession does make for a good excuse though.

Maybe it is not so good for the company to take this opportunity to layoff workers during this bad time

the company is not hurting too much. Thousands of families loss their live support.

 

 

I expect this year suicide numbers will have a sizable increase in the us.
