Microsoft Misses Quarterly Revenue Projection

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the misplaced-some-platinum-pieces dept.

monsterhead78 wrote to alert us to a BusinessWeek article discussing Microsoft's uncharacteristic miss of its own fiscal projections for the third quarter. From the article: "Three months ago, the software giant said it expected revenue for the period to come in between $9.7 billion and $9.8 billion. But when the company released results Apr. 28, it came up short. Microsoft (MSFT ) rang up just $9.62 billion in sales, a 5% increase from the year-ago quarter."

    What, did they really stop cooking their books after the government told them to stop? (That would certainly be a first!)

    My theory is they just didn't cook them quite long enough this quarter.
