  Microsoft earnings post-mortem: The cash cows quiver
Time: 16:07 EST/21:07 GMT | News Source: All About Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

The headlines on Microsoft’s fiscal 2008 third quarter earnings were all over the map this week — with claims that Microsoft beat expectations, to Microsoft fell far short of the mark. The one consensus, however, was that Windows client and Office, Microsoft’s two biggest cash cows, weren’t the robust bottom-line contributors that they usually are.

It’s a little deceiving comparing the 2007 and 2008 third quarters, as Microsoft launched Windows Vista and Office 2007 in January 2007, making for a strong FY 2007 Q3 for those two products.

By "quiver" I guess he means... pretty tough comparables, from the vista pre-sales last year.
