Patrick,
I didn't read the report, but I understand that 3 of the 5 divisions in
M$ lose money...
It goes on to say
"Of Microsoft's seven business units, four posted an operating loss in
the quarter. Microsofts' home and entertainment division, which sells
the Xbox game console, posted a loss of $177 million from sales of $505
million, according to the filing."
Selling $505 million of anything isn't doing too badly by my count, esp
when you have $2.98 billion in reserve to cover the deficit.
Vomitus.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No!
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything
I've ever done.
