It's a weird day when making 4 billion dollars is considered a failure. MS also have billions in the bank for a rainy day.

Sure some companies are stuffed, but for a lot of companies they will happily ride out the storm and be be here when good times comes.

I know you guys report the news you do not make it, but how about we look for some positive news.

I personally have never been busier (I do web development), looking at the job sites there is still massive demand for IT people.

The world will keep turning, my advice is too turn off the news and watch the simpsons.

Alas, it appears that the losses includes the Aces Studio, responsible for software, such as Flight Simulator and Train Simulator. A blow for fans of those sims but an even worse blow for the talented folk who develop them.
