How can you seriously say that, when Microsoft have produced annual profits of 22 billion dollars in the past year.
Okay, so their stock is dead in the water. Has been for years now.

Even dead fish produce gas while decomposing. In this case, we have a very large carcass, and much rotting off the vine. 22 billion profits, mostly siphoned from companies locked into their domain, speaks volumes.
What could this future product transition be?!? I think that it has to do with the MacBook Pro and less likely the MacBook.
I wonder if one of those new products could be a midtower? A budget machine would be a great addition considering the current economy.
Check it again...I just saw 157.
Because they have no growth, haven't had any for years. Sure, they're a big company making money, but they have been a lousy investment for the past decade.

Good money can often be made by going against conventional wisdom. Think about it.
Yeah, my ears perked up when I heard that one...
The word transition, as opposed to launch, is very interesting.
Mac mini, servers, Apple TV....
Something getting the axe, or a costly redesign?
I guarantee the CEO in EVERY major tech company in the world just had a faltering moment of 'Oh bugger me, what's coming next' at the thought that Apple's new upcoming products are going to be turning up in and trampling all over their markets...
Apple now offers an unequaled technology experience - you can be sure whatever is coming next is going to be equally amazing.
Rumors of multiple new products should be enough to make any reasonably intelligent investor 'hold position'...

Oppenheimer just said they were spending a lot of money on a new product that can't be discussed.
Revenue vs. EBIT
Ummm.... All that fancy white plastic and aluminum they build products with aren't free, and they actually do have to pay employees, rents, utilities...
Redesigned MacBook Pros and MacBooks?
iLife '09 and iWork '09?
Updated iPods?
Mini-tablet?
New iPod socks?
For what? It can't all be iPhone development... can it?

Damn that is some profit margin.
They also didn't expect Q4 to be as good. I wonder why, considering it would have all the iPhone sales, as well as hopefully a redesign of some notebooks.
Although whether the redesign of the notebooks come or not, I would have thought that the whole new income stream from the iPhone 3G (well the income stream from overseas) would boost those numbers massively.

New Products hopefully = Macbook Pros

Interesting...
Could that mean it's going to be focused and evidently sufficiently expensive to 'get off the ground' to suggest it's not necessarily an evolution of anything they're doing already?
Any ideas what ?
PA Semi going to be involved you think ?
Spending a lot of money on a product transition = Multi-Touch
I thought the same thing when he said it.
