Fiscal Year 2003 begins in slightly more than 3 months. The projected EPS for FY2003 is $2.03. That would put MSFT's PE at around 30. the estimates at the beginning of 2002 were also for about $2.00..... it later tuned into about $1.50, and then the true number turned out to be about $1.00, after figuring in all the true expenses and "one time charges" the one time charges that happen to be a lot more than "one" time.... what does that mean? that means the 2003 "estimates" are suspect at best, and i can tell you this for sure, they do not include the ESO expense that the congress wants to make more visible.... and they don't include any more settlement awards, that will definitely be coming in the next year, and that's just for the Baltimore suit, maybe the California one too........ jon.
