I love microsoft and I think because microsoft is such a successful company,that they are an easy target for criticism. As far as the analysts are concerned; consider the first four letters of their title.

Vista is a flop – will join Windows ME on the list of unloved operating systems.

Most are not moving to Vista and those that do are downgrading back to XP.

vista a disater?

depend on who you asked.

the apple ads say pc is a disater,

but a user, I got 2 pc and 3 laptops all running vista for more than a year will all kind of applicatiosn on them and non of them had crashed or been hacked…so I think it's a good o/s.

first year product always has small probalem here and there but over all I think it's as good as xp on it's first year.

Given Microsoft's results to their forecast, one has to question how that is a miss? If the analysts choose to "hope" beyond what management set expectations for, then why are they analysts? With results of $60B and record profit of over $22B, I think the article needs to be rewritten. Maybe the title should be "Microsoft…another year of unbelievable results while Google misses on their own forecast!"
