From CFO Connors statement:

However, we remain cautious in our expectations for near-term PC demand and corporate software spending, and continue to anticipate moderate revenue growth through the remainder of fiscal 2000.

Same old MSFT dog and pony show. Talk 'em down and then blow 'em away. New CFO, but some things never change. LOL!! W2K is going to be a lot bigger than most analysts realize. I see the stock at around 140 by next Q earnings.

Phew!! I for one was disappointed in 47 cents as I also thought the Caldera 3 cent charge came later. So the way I see it they came in at 50 cents which beats by 16.3%. I'll take that. Thanks MSFT

Microsoft had expected to take the charge in its March quarter, but accounting rules forced the software maker to take the charge in the December quarter.

"We took this one-time charge this quarter, and we are very, very happy to have this litigation behind us," said John Connors, Microsoft's newly appointed chief financial officer.
