Goldman Sachs paints bleak outlook for Microsoft's 2011 - wholesaleeshop.com.au

Dec. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- In a Goldman Sachs research report, picked up by blog Techflash, the firm says that Microsoft is due for a "more challenging year" and that the company's top-line growth (or revenues) could slow anywhere from 12 percent to seven percent.
Microsoft beat expectations in its last fiscal quarter, pulling in $5.41 billion in net income, on a revenue of $16.2 billion. The company also saw a 13 percent growth in sales, taking into account a deferral of revenue ahead of the release of Windows 7. Some of the factors Microsoft's CFO Peter Klein had attributed to the those numbers were strong sales of Office 2010, Windows 7 and the Xbox 360, as well as growth in the enterprise.
Despite that, the Goldman report points to weaknesses in the company's tablet strategy, and mobile devices at large. "A tablet response is still not forth-coming and our early read on Windows Phone 7 has not yet changed our view that Microsoft's share in mobile OSes will remain at only the single-digit level," the report said.
Microsoft has not yet released sales numbers on Windows Phone 7 devices, though is expected to as part of the company's keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show next month. There has also been question about if and when the company intends to bring that same experience to larger form-factor devices like a tablet, in order to fit in things like instant resume and increasingly long standby times--two things Windows 7 cannot yet quite match.
