<<<But another possibility as to why MSFT was able to beat revenues is likely due to aggressive PUT writing as a means of supporting their own stock, as opposed to increased sales in XP, since it isn't officially released until October, 2001.>>> Just how did Put writing increase MSFT's current revenues and earnings? Please indicate where it shows up on the income statement. Saying that MSFT faces an $8.4B liability if the share price remains below $74 is preposterous, especially if the source is non other than the self promoting Bill Parish. The increase in XP sales referred to by Bill F is XP Office sales which has already been launched earlier in the year.
