Microsoft is down 6% in after hours. I'm a little surprised since the results look reasonably good.
Quoted: Microsoft's revenue rose 18 percent for both its fiscal 2008 fourth quarter and year, but the company's Online Services Business (OSB), under scrutiny due to heated negotiations to purchase Yahoo's search business, continues to falter.

Quoted: Today, Yahoo filed a presentation detailing its three-year financial plan that management gave to its board of directors in December, before Microsoft’s unsolicited bid. These rosy projections should be read in the context of that ongoing battle and Yahoo’s attempt to get a better price out of Microsoft. But this presentation also sheds some light on where exactly Yahoo sees its strengths. After going through it, vote what you think Yahoo’s board should do.

I agree. Microsoft's desire/need to sustain Windows and Office has kept it from fully embracing the power of the Internet.
Quoted: Blodgett is exactly right. As he argues, Microsoft is so focused on sustaining its massively successful core products – Windows and Office – that its approach to the Internet is inherently shackled. It has never fully embraced the dynamic power of the Internet to unleash transformative new business models. Instead, it has used the Internet in a sustaining fashion to supplement its core properties (Internet-based help for Microsoft Word, anyone?), while clinging to web 1.0 platforms like Hotmail.

I had no idea. The only U.S. companies with a higher market cap: AT&T, Microsoft, GE, and Exxon Mobil.
Quoted: That's right: Google (GOOG). And trading at a not-preposterous 55-times trailing 12-month earnings, too.

You must be Mohit's friend before you can comment on this Fave.I think the issue is that we still came in under expectations and lowered our future guidance. Another interesting point is Intel raised their estimates
