In your case, nothing because they will beat the expectations although they will have to beat them by a lot to keep the anal-ysts happy, even so it may not stop the share price from dropping regardless. Incidently The news that the Telegraph Media Group (TMG) is moving to Google Apps and phasing out Microsoft Office and Exchange might in future be remembered as the end of the Microsoft desktop arm-lock? Well, it's worth a little speculation. "We made a conscious decision not to refresh any of [the Microsoft infrastructure]. We're not going to remove it but we won't upgrade it. Some users might use Outlook as the client but we're moving to migrate people from Outlook onto Google by the end of the year. We're not going to rip and replace but we've decided not to refresh Office 2003 and we'll sweat that asset. Google Apps is good enough and rich enough for us to do what we need to do. Collaboration has been very powerful [in Google Apps] and as people use Google Mail and Calendar they'll naturally stray to use Google Docs. Every little bit hurts MS.	vitalstatistix (9182)
