Unless there's a lot of deadwood in Microsoft, I'm not sure this bodes well for Windows 7 development. By all accounts it sounds like they need this one to be a winner to get back on track. Mind you, $4billion in profit can't be all bad...
Shouldn't this read Intel?
This is great..... Hexus has the news article on here 10 minutes before I get an email about it telling me!
It's more about economic downturn reducing expected profits - the result is your shareholders force you to make cuts to show you're 'responding' to only making an ungodly sum of money versus an obscenely ungodly sum of money.
I very much doubt Win7 will be affected at all - it's more likely they'll trim peripheral staff (e.g. admin) than people working on the core product.
