To Reiterate - I Am Always Right

Microsoft sales rise 25% to $16 billion

Microsoft's first-quarter sales of $16.2 billion rose 25% from last year, thanks to strong showings from Office 2010, Windows 7 and Xbox 360.

Revenue from Microsoft Office rose more than 15% compared to last year, thanks to Microsoft Office 2010's first full quarter on the market. Sales of Xbox 360 video game consoles grew 38% and outsold every competing console in the U.S. for each of the past four months, Microsoft said.

All gloating aside, I'm even a little confused to see this article on money.cnn.com a day after it ran the article which was the subject of yesterday's blog, "Microsoft is a dying consumer brand."  Shouldn't CNN have known that Microsoft was going to release a quarterly earnings report?  Seems like you would want to wait for that to come out before running an article boldly proclaiming the company's imminent death.

So, in short, I demand an apology.  And by "apology" I mean "money."

 No - Wait a second . . .

Much better.

Or . . . 

 

What if . . .

Now we're talking.
