New: Microsoft sales sink another 17%

Talking of hand jobs:
Microsoft Corp. blamed weakness in the global PC and server markets for a sharp drop in quarterly revenue that badly missed Wall Street's forecasts.

Sales fell 17% to $13.1 billion in the company's fourth quarter ended June 30, far short of analysts' forecasts of $14.4 billion. It was the second consecutive quarter in which sales fell from year-ago levels. In the company's previous quarter, sales fell for the first time in Microsoft's 23-year history as a public company.

"The fourth quarter was one of the most difficult, but in some ways encouraging, in the company's history," said Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell on a conference call with analysts. "We are a stronger company than we were a year ago, but the economy continues to be challenging."
