Several analysts during the conference call asked exactly why MSFT was pre-announcing if the good/bad news was mixed. I was wondering the same thing. Seems to me they've beat numbers by 10% before without preannouncing. Maybe they've decided on some kind of "surprise" threshold they feel puts them at legal risk if they do not pre-announce. With all the legal hassles they've had recently, I'm sure they're looking for ways to minimize that risk. Or maybe its just a Windows98 stock management strategy to try to avoid a big spike and drop like the one around the Windows95 launch.
