All, "History of Microsoft's Unrecognized Revenue" =============================== Quarter Total Increase =============================== 1996 1Q 307M - 1996 2Q 495M 188 M 1996 3Q 545M 50 M 1996 4Q 560M 15 M 1997 1Q 651M 91 M 1997 2Q 1013M 362 M 1997 3Q 1285M 272 M 1997 4Q 1418M 133 M 1998 1Q 1671M 253 M 1998 2Q 2038M 367 M 1998 3Q 2463 M 425 M =============================== In the conference call, many analysts' questions were about "unearned" revenue. They recongnized the increase in "unearned" revenue. Microsoft's CFO explained a lot, and urged analysts' not to forecast future growth based on this "unearned" revenue. More confusing "unearned" revenue calculation is expected in the next two quarters.
