Microsoft seeks unsecured debt securities
ACCORDING TO A regulatory filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Microsoft wants to get itself some senior unsecured debt securities so it can issue debt at any time.
In an interview with Bloomberg, investment boffin Brad Lutz, a Veep at Declaration Management and Research LLC, reckoned a bond offering from the Vole would be in high demand thanks to a top credit rating from Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service.
The fact that the Vole operates outside of the currently cursed financial sector helps, said Lutz, noting “non-financials have generally received a warm reception by the investment-grade capital markets”.
Volish CFO Chris Liddell had planned on the move since his firm’s offer to buy out Yahoo, which Mighty-Soft had planned to pay for partly through debt. But since the Micro-hoo deal is no longer on the table (or at least, that’s what Steve Ballmer would have us believe), it seems curious the Vole is still pushing ahead on the bond issue.
Whispers and speculation are already flying out of the rumour mill. Perhaps Microsoft really will make another pass at Yahoo, perhaps the Redmond Giant will turn its attention to Salesforce.com, or some other weak and vulnerable prey.
It could also be the case that the firm is simply trying to take advantage of a debt market starved of investments and possibly even buy back truck loads of its own currently undervalued stock.
No doubt we’ll find out soon enough. µ

Thought the INQ recently informed us that MS has started to sell direct.

Well, business love leasing MS licenses. To encroach on the channel effectively, means to me that MS has to be offering leasing options comparable to what channel partners do...so there you go. maybe that's what this if for.
Microsoft is a money grabbing "evil" organisation that tries to flourish by stamping out or buying up competition and spreads deceitful FUD throughout the industry, abuses its position to further its own ends.

the result of this is that you are force fed utter utter crap like Vista, and they take your money for it.

Anyone who gets into bed with Microsoft needs their head examining unless the initial cash offer is enough to retire on straight away.
Reading comments by drashek is like reading a confused post by a drunk Russian in broken English, always a laugh and a head shake (or is it the other way around?)!
M$$ wants free money NO NO NO WAY 
why because they cant give a big enough discount to companys that will only install or offer windows
maybe they want to sink annother 10 billion (likely 15-20b ) into windows 7 like vista

almost as bad as thinking the #1(maybe 2) seller of autos in the world? GM needs a bail out
how about we could supplement better cars safe and efficient only and made HERE only. not hybrid supertanker SUVs that get 12 instead of 8 MPG. perhaps get turbine/electric semis produced and sold here
Yesterday read that Microsoft had made some progress, after withdrwal notice, Microsoft announced that YAHOO V.P. of Search will be coming over to microhard.(Maybe related to Pengnie, in insertion dept?)haha, opps.

Ahso, about wattage claim of amd Vs. intel. sorry, my favorites pop down menu with history is about 1/3" wide, so cann't read where article was, it could be another winner. maybe find it over day.
