Doom and Gloom or Boom and Zoom

Poor, poor Microsoft. It's stock is stalled worse than Paris Hilton driving a stick. Oh, and every pundit with a keypad or blog is talking about the end of Redmond hegemony and the total dufosity of Steve Ballmer.

Despite all this Microsoft's bean counters report that each and every quarter come up with more beans. This quarter Office and the Windows division both came through swimmingly. Surprisingly, entertainment, which contains the red hot Xbox and Kinect, faltered.

Now, is there anything short of an asteroid that can make the stock move?
