Starhawke that is exactly the issue companies adjust their reporting period to fit their business performance. Better results shorter quarters lower results longer quarters. Just wonder what DELL and others will do next quarter.

Playing with the length of the quarter is another way of massaging profits to meet or beat earnings estimate.
