Yesterday, our CEO, Steve Ballmer delivered Microsoft’s message to financial analysts.  During the presentation he “clarified” where Microsoft stands in terms of ongoing profit & investor return.

If you really want to understand Microsoft’s business, may I recommend following the money?  This is where you’ll get real insight into Microsoft’s present & future business.

For example, Microsoft sells on volume:  We’re pretty good at it & we do this across 12 different $1B businesses, diversifying how we make money.  See the graphic to the right.

And by the way, I have the say, the slide below presented by Steve is awesome.  And it’s just a taste of what’s in the video recording.  Have look see.
