<< .Microsoft .40... 3 cents above the highest figure of 26 analysts.? Time for more upgrades>> Sig, IMO they haven't set the hurdle rate HIGH enough for Mr. Softie....MSFT is a MASTER at managing expectations....the analysts should KNOW that by now ....It may be time to give MSFT some REAL stretch targets <G> -- shouldn't they have to work to hit those numbers every now and then..?? Actually I'm glad they came in right on target since my relatives still own a lot of MSFT stock -- it continues to amaze me (even with its market cap of $1/2 trillion)..!! Best Regards, Scott
