Same old story

"Results in the prior year were impacted by the deferral of $1.64 billion of revenue
and operating income and $0.11 of diluted earnings per share from the second to
the third quarter of fiscal 2007, due primarily to technology guarantee programs.
Without these deferrals, second quarter growth rates for revenue, operating income
and earnings per share would be 15%, 27% and 32%, respectively."

Revenue growth inline with PC market growth. Profit from windows and Office.

Revenue growth should be better given the price increases for Vista.

Note to competition: Attack win32 and Office revenues.
