Brian, Since you have joined the "bad news bear" club :-) MSFT did a Q4 upside preannouncement: Microsoft (MSFT) 66.50 +2.02: -- Update -- Company sees revs of $6.5-$6.6 bln vs. consensus of $6.43 bln; company will take $3.9 bln charge resulting from the impairment of certain publicly traded and private equity securities particularly in the cable and telecommunications industries; management expects results from operations to be in line with previous guidance; including the non-cash charge, diluted earnings per share is expected to be approximately $0.01; MSFT 69.75 +3.25 vs. 4 pm close.
