Microsoft gives rosy outlook

Software giant tops earnings forecasts, offers upbeat guidance for 2009 and no news on Yahoo bid; stock falls after-hours.

Microsoft the "big" computer market has given unexpected results and surprised all analysts. Reading this article it got me to thinking about how I could relate it with Markstrat. Afterall, how business runs is all up to the board of directors and the decisions they make. In the the beginning of the article it talks about the selling of software and Xbox consoles. To my remembrance, Microsoft does a lot of advertising to sell their products and it is also sort of a given that many users use Microsoft.

Since we are constantly doing Markstrat right now, the lesson I got from this article is that advertising is really key in selling any products in the market.
