let's not forget that any company the size of msft must deal w/ the "law of large numbers".

it is much easier for a company generating $1M in revenues annually to grow revenues by 20% than it is for a company like msft that has revenues of $20B.

remember folks, it's never too late to buy msft!!

And he said profit margins had peaked for now as Microsoft squeezed all the costs it could out of its business model by shifting to sales of licenses instead of packaged software.

Not that it matters that much, but MSFT might be able to squeeze costs a little bit more by making customers who purchase licences download and print them. This approach or something similar is being rolled out, I think.
