---Am personally looking for MSFT to post .66 per share for the quarter . With INTC reporting 10 % higher earnings I think MSFT will do what they did last qtr ---post a 14 % earnings surprise . Earnings per ZACK are supposed to be .59 cents for this qtr Bill the .59 cents is the result of MSFT telling analysts to increase the estimates by 5 cents (ie 10 percent) at the last earnings release. I think you right and they will hit about the 65 or 66 cents. However, they have a lot of control over their actual number with their "unearned revenue" account which sits at about 3.1 billion. LOL
