| Enderlependent Analysts, to ixnay on the evensay and highlight the job
| openings for work on Windows 8, firmly penciled in for a 2012 release.

| gigabytes of memory — 28 cores for the interface, 3 cores for the DRM and one
| core for everything else. “Seven is just so this year. I hear they’ll get

| And there's another reason why yesterday was significant: Microsoft announced
| what are probably its worst quarter results ever:
|
| Microsoft Corp. today announced revenue of $13.65 billion for the third
| quarter ended March 31, 2009, a 6% decline from the same period of the prior
| year. Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share for the
| quarter were $4.44 billion, $2.98 billion and $0.33 per share, which
| represented an increase of 3% and declines of 32% and 30%, respectively, when
| compared with the prior year period.
|
| Now, the global financial crisis certainly contributed to those figures, but
| I think there's a bigger underlying trend here, which is that the Microsoft
| money machine is faltering.
