Lee, - OFF TOPIC - - IMO, basically it is a legal accounting practice. It has a good advantage in smoothing glitches in earnings. Many big blue companies are doing this, GE, KO, PG, and big-name drug companies. - It is their standard way in projecting the next one or two quarters. However, it is true that PC growth is slowing down. Microsoft is doing their best in establishing new business in other fields, such as enterprise (Windows NT), and consumer products (Windows CE and WebTV). At current stage, Microsoft has no other choice but being conservative.
