WHAT Service and HPC? nonsense
`` Liddell said Microsoft understood that its decisions to invest in things like services and high-end computing will mean lower earnings in the short-term.

"We are willing to make those trade-offs." ''


How much has MS invested in services and HPC? A couple of millions?

The reason that earnings are lower is because people are getting too much fed up with the excuses, the delays, the insecurity and the future products which usually materialize several years after they were supposed to be released.
