11%-12% growth for year, says Microsoft.
That's sales growth. Quoting:

Microsoft slightly raised its sales forecast for the full year, saying it now sees 11 percent to 12 percent growth, compared with an early forecast of 10 percent to 12 percent growth. "We're feeling better about our top-line growth," Healy said.

Microsoft underprojects consistently.
Given the arrival of Vista and other new products this year, I think that 15% is not impossible.

Hence my observation in the earlier post.
