Microsoft's Recession Pitch - Part Deux

Hmmm, not sure if the pitch worked or not: Microsoft sales, profits plummet

Microsoft today reported revenue of $13.1 billion for its fiscal fourth quarter, a 17 percent decline, and earnings per share of 34 cents -- missing, by two cents, the consensus of Wall Street analysts polled in advance by Thomson Reuters.

However, it is interesting to note that the Server & Tools Division posted only a 6 percent decline compared to the company's 17 percent decline. Maybe the story prevented a steeper revenue decline for Server & Tools? Maybe.
