The following is a guest post from Erin Laing from CXTEC

Although Microsoft’s net profit in April to June was $4.3bn, 41% higher than a year earlier when Microsoft spent $1bn fixing faulty Xbox consoles, analysts expect the next three months to hit Microsoft’s earnings in a very harsh way. In the current quarter, predicted earnings of 47 to 48 cents per share are less than the expected 49 cents, and shares have tumbled 5.89% to close at $25.86.
