Microsoft's stock skyrockets

[Pixbae]

I know we were all distracted by Leopard's release yesterday, but Microsoft released their higher-than-expected earnings data, and their stocks jumped by nearly 10%, to their highest levels since 2001. Various reports cite mass adoption of Vista and Office 2007, in addition to Halo, as reasons for their high profits.

I just think it's a little ironic that Microsoft stock takes such a big jump on the day LEOPARD is released.
