"Microsoft, the once-swaggering giant of the personal computer
industry, has been humbled, both by the recession and by problems of
its own making."
"In its fourth quarter, Microsoft’s net income fell to $3.05 billion,
or 34 cents a share, for the period ended June 30. The figures
represent a 29 percent drop in net income from the $4.30 billion, or
46 cents a share, that Microsoft reported in the period a year ago."
