If you're serious about tracking Microsoft, I'd recommend downloading the presentations from the financial analyst meeting. It provides a great run down of what the company thinks is important and how it's positioning itself. The analyst community is a very important audience. You also pick up lots of little tidbits such as they've spent 23 billion dollars buying back stock over the last four years. They still have over 5 billion in equities of which half is in cable and satellite companies. Next year, they want to get to an installed base of 16 million Xboxes with 1 million on Xbox Live. The revenue forecast is based on a growth of PC shipments of 5.7% and a stable US dollar. Unearned revenue grew by 16% this year. There's a new PC prototype called "Athens". Lots more.
