The Micosoft board are known to be conservative and tbh, if they hadn't they
may have missed the analysts expectations and investors wouldn't be happy.
If anything Microsoft are playing it safe and at the moment it's paying off.
They've now raised expectations for 08 and the stock is hanging around 30.00
again in after-hours trading. They're closing in on their 52Wk high.
Most sites are reporting the earnings as solid.
