| 570490 | 2007-07-20 04:55:00 | MICROSOFT has posted a 7 per cent gain in net profit as demand for its Office software and improved results from its online arm more than compensated for a $US1.1 billion ($1.26 billion) charge to repair Xbox game consoles. Microsoft also slightly raised its full-year earnings and revenue forecasts, citing demand for new software products like its Windows Server 2008. www.australianit.news.com.au |

| 570492 | 2007-07-20 07:06:00 | Only 7% profit rise? Heads will roll. While most people think that a billion dollars is close to being real money, MS would call it "petty cash". |

| 570493 | 2007-07-20 07:25:00 | Agreed, although it must have pleased some investors as it resulted in a rise in Microsoft's share price today. They are actually up about $1.50 a share in the last 5 days. Normally they are very flat. For anyone who is interested Microsoft shares only cost $31.51 US each which might sound like a lot to us Kiwis but it is pretty normal for a US company. A few other notable companies have been having tough quarters like Motorola, Dell and Yahoo. |
