Expectations low for Microsoft, despite signs of tech recovery
,----[ Quote ]
| Despite new signs of life in the PC market
| and positive quarterly reports from other
| tech giants, Wall Street analysts aren't
| expecting a great quarter. Analysts surveyed
| by Thomson Reuters expect revenues to
| decline 18 percent, to $12.4 billion, with
| earnings falling to 32 cents per share, down
| from 48 cents in the same quarter last year.

Risk in office blogs

| Mini Microsoft, the anonymous blogger widely believed to be
| a well-informed employee working at the software companyâs
| Redmond headquarters, heavily criticised this yearâs
| Microsoft annual employee meeting. He gave a two-zero
| rating to Steve Ballmer, Microsoftâs chief executive, and
| described Stephen Elop, head of Microsoftâs business
| division, as âsuck[ing] the life out of the entire
| stadiumâ.

Microsoft offers no reasons for discontinuation of two Dynamics mobile products
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft officials notified the companyâs partners on
| September 1 that Microsoft is discontinuing the mobile
| versions of its Dynamics AX and Dynamics NAV ERP
| products.
|
| (Word of the move trickled out broadly last Friday,
| via a report from IDG News Service.)
|
| What is still not clear is why Microsoft officials
| made the decision to phase out the two products. I
| asked why Microsoft decided to discontinue the mobile
| clients for the Dynamics products, but received an
| answer from a spokesperson that elaborated on the
| âwhen,â but omitted the âwhy.â
