According to BestCalls.com, Microsoft has surprised in the last 5 quarters by an average of 13.6%. Based on the earnings estimate of .42 this quarter, the actual earnings could come in at .48.

sorry, but i'm not that optimistic. i think the number will be about 45 cents. remember we are comparing with december 98 which beat estimates by a whopping 7 cents and the prior year by over 76%. Well I might as well throw my guess out there also. I will stab at 52 cents, along with bullish guidance for the next quarter. I think coming in below the whisper number after INTC's numbers might prove to be somewhat of a negative on near term performance (unless it is followed by very bullish comments during the call).
