Let see if I've got this right
Microsoft Chief Financial Officer John Connors said:
"that the company has a strong product release schedule, which will become clearer at next week's developer conference in Los Angeles"
Meaning next week they may know more about what's happening?

"he noted that the sales force has been told to focus first on making sure customers are happy and only secondarily on signing new deals"
Meaning that customers aren't happy now? Might be because of license 6 or whatever it's called, where they've prepaid for software that's not being delivered or the occasional patch that's needed.

Meanwhile "Matt Rosoff, an analyst with market researcher Directions on Microsoft" said:

"Microsoft has said that it has this great operating system called Longhorn, Rosoff said, "but we are not sure exactly what's going to be in it. We know there will be a wave of products around (the same time as Longhorn), but we don't know exactly when that will be."
Meaning that even the people who're supposed to know what's going on can't figure it out?

"Consumer sales "are picking up just in time to make up for any declines in the business market," Rosoff said."
Meaning that Christmas will help?
