Nearly right...
"the bigger issue for Microsoft is whether it will be able to get the companies that signed up for long-term deals to renew their pacts--something that won't really become clear until next year."

In other words, MS will slip the next rev. of Windows until after most of them have re-signed.

Love the bit about the "strong product release schedule" but they don't know the timing or what will be in it. Strongest bit of vapour I've nearly bumped into for some time.

Also love Balmer's video where he often refers to some "unnamed hacker in China", as if Chinese hackers are somehow lower quality than other (US?) hackers. And you thought prejudice was dead!
