Is the same Microsoft that lost money this quarter?
Yeah. But it amounted to you or me sitting on a couch with loose pant pockets. And I think they're going to make bank in the next few quarters. Heard speculation today from some MS watchers today that he was brought on to figure out how best to market the new things they've got coming out. Probably also has for rent a whole Rolodex of "reporters" on his PR company's payroll, so count on endless tech press gushing. (I.e., almost as much as when Apple releases a mildly updated gizmo.)
Pants.

I'm surprised you're so excited about the upcoming Microsoft products.
Eh, I'd say that I'm happy only in the sense of caring about the health of the overall ecosystem: it's better for Apple, Google, various flavors of Linux, other gadget makers, and all of us lusers if MS remains viable.
In my reply, I was merely pointing out that the one quarter loss shouldn't be seen as indicative of the beginning of the end.
Sorry. I was making a lame joke out of your word "pants," as if you were "panting" in anticipation. Didn't really mean you were that excited. ;-)
LOL! No, that wasn't lame at all. Just a little too subtle for your [strike]humble[/strike] obtuse servant.
