Bink has sent me a super-duper screenshot which includes all build nrs of the releases (or should I say leaks) that have taken place in the last 24 hours.
If we can get a link to 1078 we'll let you know.
Chief Financial Officer John Connors said in an interview that sales of the new Windows XP operating system and other desktop computer software remained strong. He said the company was able to increase its sales from corporate customers despite the overall slowing in technology spending.
Microsoft plans to add 5,000 employees to its roughly 50,000 work force, with 30 percent to 40 percent of the new hires in the Puget Sound region. The positions are for research and development, sales and support, Connors said.
Connors said the company currently has no plans to change the way it reports stock options as some are proposing as an accounting reform.
Microsoft said that sales of its new Xbox video game consoles reached 3.9 million for the fiscal year.
For the fiscal year, Microsoft had profits of $7.83 billion, or $1.41 a share, compared to $7.35 billion, or $1.32 a share, in 2001. Revenue for the year was $28.4 billion, up 12 percent from $25.3 billion the previous year.
