Question to all: What do folks think of Microsoft's online business -- msn.com and its network of sites? Does what happens there have any effect on your investment decisions? I ask because I rarely see it mentioned here even though MS has spent hundreds of millions in the past few years on that segment. Balmer is reportedly reorganizing the company to give that segment even more focus. CFO Maffei told Goldman's conference that msn is not "imminently profitable" but he and others said that MSFT would spend even more to buy or partner with complimentary sites. Is any of that important to investors? Anyone have ideas about what sort of moves msn could make to excite the market about that segment?

When market turns around next week, Microsoft will go together. It was Microsoft alone which went through the correction in the past one to two weeks, it is the general market , and almost big cap tech stocks went down. However, it is just a healthy correction. But do not tell me that the sky is falling and Microsoft is finished. It is a very childish statement !!!!!!!!!!! Actually MSFT is very under valued , if you converted the 20 Billion unearned profit into profit next quarter, then you will know what Microsoft's really earning and PE is !!!!!!
