To All: At 4:40 CNBC did a piece on the MSFT "book cooking" and as usual the spin was all anti-MSFT. Instead of characterizing their accounting practices as conservative wherein revenue was deferred until fully earned they went on a speculative witch hunt trying to divine the nasty reasons MSFT was so conservative. They concluded investors will be less likely to trust MSFT financials. Give me a break these people can't say anything good about MSFT. Did they have anyone speaking on the side of MSFT? NO! Did they have anyone who knew what they were talking about with specifics? NO! It was just more BS. What is CNBC's problem? JFD

John That was the reason I posted the article from the Washington Post . I have long known where we were headed with the stock market effecting revenue to the Federal and Local government . Bush seems to be living in a different world than the rest of us in regards to the economy . As far as CNBC is concern I have eliminated them off my Directv lineup and watch CNN Money Line or Bloomberg . They really distort comments about different companies ---as far as MSFT is concern I agree with you ---it should have been viewed as a positive BEST WISHES BILL
