In awe...
I'm not sure unloading a bunch of Vista or XP in it's first fiscal is what Microsoft (or their investors) want..stretching these versions out steadily over several years is what seems to provide them a nice steady increase in dollars banked quarter after quarter.

In fact, I'm sure MS investors like to see rises quarter-over-quarter instead of an incredible quarter that could never be repeated.

With all of this said, I honestly don't know how Microsoft does it. For all of the "This is the end..." talk, they just seem to be able to rise above the ever-increasing competition and naysayers to deliver solid financials each year.

It's amazing.
