Microsoft with results out after hours. Nerds. Awesome results I must be honest, there were some concerns going into these numbers, but those were shelved. Office and Windows 7 OS (around 240 million licences sold since the launch last year) were the standouts, there were of course questions posed as to when the new products will start contributing heavily. Google and Apple are the obvious comparisons. Sales of 16.2 billion Dollars for the quarter, that was an increase of 25 percent. 62 cents per share worth of earning, heck the stock looks cheap at 27 bucks, up nearly three percent in the pre market. A trailing price to earnings multiple of 12 and a half. And a yield of around two and a half percent.

The rumour that Microsoft are going to be partnering with Adobe has gone viral. The New York Times reported that Microsoft had met with Adobe, the main okes what count met in San Francisco. Other sources say that this is complete nonsense. Here is the story: What Did Microsoft and Adobe Chiefs Talk About? Clearly if true, not such a well kept secret. These folks who are familiar with the situation, they are EVERYWHERE!!! As you can see from the article, both companies say very little.
