M$ at it again ~The positive report saw the company's share price jump 6.1 percent to $60.73, adding more than $27 billion to its market value. It's the first time the shares have passed the $60 mark since December 1999.

At stock prices increasing
An interesting view, certainly. How would you respond to the question of business ethics? From an investor and human standpoint I certainly look at a companies ethics and conduct in earning a profit before I back them with financial support regardless of the potential returns.

Sure, but in this case there is high correlation since earning exceeded expectations so stock went up.
Indeed it is.
Unfortunately, I don't have the freedom to utilize vastly inferior products, as my PC's haven't been entertainment machines for nearly 6 years. I don't own stock (which is a long term loan to the company) or support their anti-competitive and borderline illegal activities. I am eagerly awaiting the release of zen, because if it is even remotely close to intel's single threaded performance I'll be dropping intel like the bad habit they are.
Microsoft stock re-purchase = minimizing outstanding shares:
I agreee with this. Also, when you share you data with another company, you lose a lot of legal rights.Originally Posted by AllGamer
Well M$ might be dreaming high up in the clouds, but it'll soon turn into a nightmare when the wake up and fall from the sky.
The cloud thing will come to pass soon
every one has been trying to market "the cloud" of things, yet serious not that many Large Businesses uses it, most businesses people are sceptical (translation Spies) and/or anti-cloud, because they don't trust their files and data outside of their own offices.
For the general Joes and Janes, 99% of them sticks with whatever FREE amount they were given, that's why M$ cut back from 5GB to 1GB or something like that in their "Free" cloud.
DropBox and Box.Net has been in this business waaaaaay before M$, Google, or Amazon started the catch-up game.
Yet Dropbox and Box.net are no were near as Successful as M$ dreams to be.
Google and Amazon got lucky due their current base
so M$ is just trying to follow the same train, but that train left the station a very long time ago.
I highly doubt OneDrive will ever surpass Google or Dropbox or Box.net, or all the other similar business out there.
Oh yeah, and IBM they started their catch up game 3 years ago, yet you hardly hear from the, and their stocks are not making a dent either.
I work for a company that provide "aaS" as a solution to many customers. the only diffrence between smaller and larger companies is how much of "aaS" they want. For the bigger ones its all about Infastructure as a service. the smaller ones software as a service.Originally Posted by AllGamer

TBH windows ME was super short lived. It was replaced in just under a year with windows XP.
