,----[ Quote ]
| In its filings with the S.E.C. since the first quarter of 2007,
| Microsoft broke down its revenue among its five reporting units,
| but offered no further detail of revenue among parts of those
| units. It offered a general overview of revenue in the
| Management's Discussion and Analysis section of each report.

Worry not. Microsoft is above the law. The company probably has some
'partners' in the SEC, or those who supervise the SEC.
