可惜呀，出手太早了点，没预见到今天还会涨。

Microsoft Corporation’s (MSFT) second quarter results were a couple of
cents higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The last month has seen 10
analysts lowering estimates for the quarter, which took the Zacks Consensus
down a penny. Therefore, without the revisions, Microsoft would have
exceeded expectations.
While the client PC business was slightly impacted by the Thai flooding, all
other areas of the business saw good growth. Investors reacted as may be
expected, taking share prices up 2.42% in after-hours trading.
Revenue
Revenue of $20.89 billion was up 20.2% sequentially and 4.7% from last year,
just short of consensus expectations of $20.93 billion. Growth in the last
quarter was again led by the Entertainment & Devices segment (up triple
digits sequentially), with all segments other than Windows growing strong
double-digits. The increase from the year-ago quarter followed a similar
pattern.
Management commentary and Intel Corp’s (INTC) results indicate that the
enterprise refresh cycle continues and the Wintel combination is far from
dead. Of course, we may expect some changes this year, as Microsoft launches
Windows 8.
...
At CES 2012, Microsoft showcased new LTE Windows phones from Nokia Corp (NOK
) and HTC that will soon be available on the AT&T (T) network. The new
Windows Phone, code-named Mango (with deeper social experiences, office 365
integration and IE 9) is expected to put the company back into the
smartphone business. Microsoft stated that Skype, which it bought from eBay
Inc (EBAY) last year had 200 million subscribers at year-end.
