Microsoft's X-Rated Problem | |
|
||
| Time: 09:24 EST/14:24 GMT | News Source: The Motley Fool | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Go over last night's third-quarter earnings report from Microsoft and you'll be treated to the usual suspects. It topped profit projections by a penny per share. It was guarded in its near-term outlook. All of its operating divisions managed small yet definite gains. Wait a minute. Scratch the latter. While Microsoft managed modest gains in most of its businesses, one line item stands out like a Mac user at a Bill Gates Fan Club meeting. Its Home and Entertainment division suffered a steep 42% drop during the period. How can a company manage to grow revenue in iffy segments such as software and online subscriber services but fail to make headway in something as seemingly recession-resilient as home and entertainment? | ||

Speaking of Xbox Success:
http://www.gamespy.com/xbox/news.shtml#PQN422059 Xbox Live's European Success Xbox Live became an instant success in North America, and this morning that seems to be the case for Europe as well. In a report issued today by Microsoft, over 50,000 gamers across Europe are playing Xbox Live and have been since the service launch in Europe on March 14th. Coming off a preview program that ran in the UK, France and Germany starting November 2002, Xbox Live in Europe comes with demo versions of MotoGP, MechAssault and Whacked, and has so far managed to take the higher sales in respect to multiplatform titles that feature online play via Xbox, but not for the other systems. In addition to the initial announcement, Microsoft put forth a release schedule covering live titles across the region. |

| Squirm? The bet's still open to Red. If he doesn't take, it's your's for fifty if that's agreeable to you. I don't squirm when it comes to a wager. |

Jerky boy, I was under the impression that the bet was open to any and all takers. But once again your words have to taken with a grain of salt.
YES, I ACCEPT YOUR WAGER: $50. That money will come in handy when I buy the Xbox II. |

| Okay, it's a bet. |

"his mommies paypal"
"He is Melkor, Sauron and Sauraman rolled into one." "He is Apple's butt boy" "But the sun will shine in the face of his evil. " Boy, you two are losers. This'll be fun... I like long term bets. I've never welched on a wager. I'm in it for the fun of the possibilities not because I believe I'm right or anything. The fact is: it was a joke--if I win, the Box is truly pathetic; if I lose (note: it's not loose), it's no big loss to me... Maybe paying Red will shut people like moore up about me being so duplicitous. This post was edited by sodajerk on Friday, April 18, 2003 at 19:53. |

Hey ActiveWin, since when is calling SodaJerk Apple's butt boy in violation of the terms of use?
and yes he is Melkor, Sauron and Sauraman rolled into one. He makes his living using MS's technology but can't find anything good about it. |
