So you can get the numbers from their own reports. as you will also be able to get the numbers after the GAAP rules are changed also, but the new way..... you will be able to read at the front of the report, as opposed to where they are now, buried in the back..... heck with out other GAAP rule changes in the past, you wouldn't have been able to see these proper numbers AT ALL...... and no, MSFT will not be the only company that will have to adhere to new rules, but as you saw in Barrons, MSFT will be one of the companies hardest hit.... as opposed to say KO...... because KO doesn't try and make its cash flow from issuing options like they were bubbles in a bubble bath.... jon.
