Limtex,

I agree, he should not have used 'slump". I know he did not mean it. He was trying to be conservative like MSFT is each quarter. There is no "slump" perhaps some seasonal adjustments, perhaps product transition, perhaps component shortages. But demand is off the charts, that is not a slump. But you are right he used the word. I love it that royalties were higher than expected and have welcomed the chance to buy a lot more shares on the cheap. Cheers!

"for the use of that expression 'slump'"

limtex
I think the good doctor knew the impact of the term slump.In the right setting a well chosen word can be quite the catalyst.
Cheers
Ed
