I don't think it is uncommon or in any way problematic that tax accounting and GAAP accounting diverge. JMHO. Charles Tutt (SM)

<<<<MSFT using rules to show investors one set of books and the IRS a second set is perfectly legal, but only employees who want to hide something do such a thing to its own owners......>>>> How stupid can you get? Every company in the world that has plant property and equipment on its books reports depreciation differently on reports to shareholders versus the IRS. A simple example of differences in reporting due to the tax code. Your zeal in slamming MSFT has blinded you to simple facts. Get a life and don't be such a loser.
