Let the cola idiot orgy begin: MS to lay off 1400 today, 3600 more over next 18 months
DFS
$16.63 billion for the second quarter ended Dec. 31, 2008, a 2% increase
over the same period of the prior year. Operating income, net income and
diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $5.94 billion, $4.17 billion
and $0.47, declines of 8%, 11% and 6%, respectively, compared with the prior
year.
Client revenue declined 8% as a result of PC market weakness and a continued
shift to lower priced netbooks. However, strong annuity licensing drove
Server & Tools revenue growth of 15%. Entertainment and Devices revenue grew
3% driven by strong holiday demand for Xbox 360 consoles with a record 6
million units sold in the quarter.
During the quarter, Microsoft showcased significant new product innovations
by debuting Windows 7, Windows Azure, Office Web applications, Windows
Server 2008 R2 and Office Communications Server 2007 R2. Microsoft also
announced general availability of Silverlight 2, Exchange Online, SharePoint
Online, Windows Small Business Server 2008, Windows Essential Business
Server 2008 and a new release of Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
"While we are not immune to the effects of the economy, I am confident in
the strength of our product portfolio and soundness of our approach," said
Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer at Microsoft. "We will continue to
manage expenses and invest in long-term opportunities to deliver value to
customers and shareholders, and we will emerge an even stronger industry
leader than we are today."
In light of the further deterioration of global economic conditions,
Microsoft announced additional steps to manage costs, including the
reduction of headcount-related expenses, vendors and contingent staff,
facilities, capital expenditures and marketing. As part of this plan,
Microsoft will eliminate up to 5,000 jobs in R&D, marketing, sales, finance,
legal, HR, and IT over the next 18 months, including 1,400 jobs today. These
initiatives will reduce the company's annual operating expense run rate by
approximately $1.5 billion and reduce fiscal year 2009 capital expenditures
by $700 million.
Business Outlook
"Economic activity and IT spend slowed beyond our expectations in the
quarter, and we acted quickly to reduce our cost structure and mitigate its
impact," said Chris Liddell, chief financial officer at Microsoft. "We are
planning for economic uncertainty to continue through the remainder of the
fiscal year, almost certainly leading to lower revenue and earnings for the
second half relative to the previous year. In this environment, we will
focus on outperforming our competitors and addressing our cost structure."
Due to the volatility of market conditions going forward, Microsoft is no
longer able to offer quantitative revenue and EPS guidance for the balance
of this fiscal year. Microsoft offers operating expense guidance of
approximately $27.4 billion for the full year ending June 30, 2009. This
information supercedes the fiscal year 2009 guidance that Microsoft provided
on Oct. 23, 2008. Management will discuss second-quarter results, and the
company's qualitative business outlook on a conference call and webcast at 8
a.m. PST (11 a.m. EST) today.
Webcast Details
Steve Ballmer, chief executive officer, Chris Liddell, senior vice president
and chief financial officer, Frank Brod, corporate vice president and chief
accounting officer, and Bill Koefoed, general manager of Investor Relations,
will host a conference call and webcast to discuss details of the company's
performance for the quarter and certain forward-looking information. The
session may be accessed at http://www.microsoft.com/msft. The webcast will
be available for replay through the close of business on Jan. 22, 2010.
hmmm... income and EPS are down... but various cola lowlifes have insisted
Microsoft falsified their financial results?

Simply put, Microsoft is no longer able to self-fund it's revenue
growth. It looks like they are still making 25% profit margins, even
though customers like Dell, HP, Gateway, Acer, and Lenovo have been
suffering substantial losses in the PC market. Gateway has
dissappeared, purchased by Acer after 8 quarters of losses. There was
a brief pop the quarter that Vista came out, but then PC prices
collapsed again.

Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 migrations. Many corporations made that
upgrade because Windows 2008 had very good support for Virtualization,
using either Microsoft's virtualization, or 3rd party virtualization,
and the virtualization has helped make configurations much easier.

Windows 7 has also been announced as being at least a year away from
general release. Many of the other "innovations" are attempts to
compete with OSS offerings such as OpenOffice, Google Office, CVS, and
subversion. Silverlight is an imitation of the *nix based system used
by CNN.

One of the problems of cutting employees is that every cut impacts the
bottom line. If you cut sales people, that can adversely impact
revenue, because your best people, worried about their jobs, are also
likely to jump ship. If you cut R&D you risk losing your best people
there. If you cut production staff, that results in worse quality.
Microsoft is extremely dependent on their legal department, and
letting the lawyers go could result in leaks or even lawsuits and
cooperative insiders willing to testify against top executives.
Forcing an employee to leave a company costs you their loyalty. If
they leave voluntarily, they will likely do things that help the
company. If you lay them off, they are more likely to become
competitors, or work for your competitors, and use every advantage
they have the company - to the benefit of the competitors.

Microsoft may have an even bigger problem. Many contracts are up for
renewal this month, because Microsoft released Vista on January 31,
2007, and the renewals were easy last year, but there is more pressure
from the OEMs. Upgrades has also been less of a market, with OEMs and
businesses less willing to "double-dip" - many are now buying a
license that can be installed as either Vista Business or Home
Premium, and several lines are only being licensed for Vista Ultimate
- in hopes of getting higher prices - so far, not with much success.
Internationally, it has been much more common, especially in EMEA and
Asia, to see "No OS" PCs - and be able to pick up a copy of Linux at
the local magazine stand. The "No OS" PCs sell for about 1/2 the
price of Vista PCs, partly because they don't have Vista, and partly
because they don't need as much memory and hard drive. It's very hard
for Microsoft to claim that Vista is being pirated when the laptops in
question aren't even capable of running Vista.

Put a bit differently, the OEMs are getting a bit obstinant, unwilling
to pay Microsoft premium prices for Vista while they have to sell
their products at commodity prices - often at a loss. Microsoft may
have to lower prices and relax licensing restrictions to keep OEMs
from cutting quantities completely. ASUS and other motherboard makers
have embedded Linux into the mother-board. If you remove the hard
disk, or install a new disk, the PC will automatically boot into
Linux, and will let you partition the disk as you like. Microsoft may
have to permit OEMs to package Vista or even Windows XP for
virtualization - to run under this Linux kernel, rather than as a
"native mode" installation.
Net-books or sub-notebooks are also having an impact. ASUS and ACER
are finding other outlets for Linux based PCs, including discount
stores like Target, K-mart, Toys-R-Us, Carfour, and thousands of
cellular phone services vendors ranging from small stores to Kiosks.
Many of these retailers don't put either XP or Windows on display, but
will gladly pull out the Linux version and give you a guided tour.
They will even show you the comparison - pointing out that the XP
version only inlcudes Works not a complete office suite, and the Linux
version has dozens of other nice applications. It's a quick high-
profit $300 sale to sell the Linux version. It's a loss to sell the
XP version. Many even point out how similar Linux is to the Mac - in
terms of operating systems. Which people can relate to.
Annuity client support contracts could also deteriorate. CIOs are
under intense pressure to keep costs down, and many are already
switching to transferable and downgradable XP licenses with no
annuity. In effect, it's a rejection of Vista and a first step toward
bringing Linux into the general desktop environment. XP doesn't go
away, it just becomes an application that runs under Linux.

Fundamentally, the contrast between the Microsoft report and the Apple
Earnings Report yesterday have created a dramatic illustration of how
popular *nix has become and how unpopular Vista has become. News
commentators on CNBC were all in agreement that they hated Vista and
had stuck with XP, and Mark Haynes even gushed about his love for the
Apple.
Worse, the Microsoft announcement telegraphed the collapse of Vista
dependent markets, including Vista based PCs and software written
exclusively for Vista. Windows 7 appears to be much cleaner and
faster, more like Windows 2000 with additional accelerators. If it is
finally shipped that way, it might do well - as an appliance.
Microsoft has already seen a dramatic shift to server virtualization,
and many corporations are already shifting to Desktop virtualization
because it makes desktop management so much easier and more cost-
effective. XP and Windows 2000 are excellent for desktop
virtualization, especially since Linux provides firewall and security
features that limit the damage that can be done to the overall PC.
Microsoft may also offer their own hypervisor - but it will also have
to be ultra-thin and capable of running Linux as efficiently as
Windows, and as effeciently and smoothly as a Linux hypervisor.

Conficker Autoplay ruse gets teeth into Windows 7
VXers still ahead of the game
By John Leyden
Posted in Security, 20th January 2009 13:38 GMT
Social engineering autoplay tricks work on early versions of
Windows 7 as well as Vista, according to tests by security
researchers.
AutoPlay trickery
As well as spreading by exploiting a weeks-old Microsoft
vulnerability, the Conficker (Downadup) worm attempts to spread
across network shares and to infect removable drives, using a
special malformed autorun.inf file.
The use of a clever social engineering ruse means that users
plugging an infected drive (such as a USB drive) into a Windows
Vista machine might well be lulled into the idea they are
clicking on a link that simply opens a folder, rather than
actually running the worm's viral payload.
The same trick, first noticed by researchers at the Internet
Storm Centre on Vista, also works on beta versions of Windows 7,
researchers at F-secure have discovered.
