Want a Good Read on Microsoft Financials?

I was browsing our site RedmondReport.com (check it out) and found a great analysis of how Microsoft is faring in this tough economy. In fact, it's almost as good as my article, "The Strength to Endure."

The article by Joe Wilcox looks at where Google, Microsoft and Apple were a year ago compared to now. Apple and Google are actually doing exceptionally well. Microsoft, while doing less well, is still holding up just fine. There's no tech news, but if you own MSFT stock or are just curious, it's a fine piece.
