Microsoft trashes its brand — with Apple the big winner

Have a look at Microsoft's sales figures for the past few quarters: http://www.microsoft.com/msft/reports/ar08/10k_fh_fin.html

They're still making money hand over fist despite having a lame duck OS and one of the worst economies in decades. Their revenue increased by $10 billion and had profits of $3.5 billion.

I really wish that people would look at these numbers before declaring doom and gloom for Microsoft. The market isn't exactly running screaming from Microsoft as some would hope.

Maybe its just me -- but I really don't see how this article is declaring financial doom and gloom for Microsoft, or saying that the market is running screaming from Microsoft? It just seems to be saying that enterprises aren't (yet) seeing a compelling case for upgrading from XP to 7.
