Microsoft, Google, and...IBM

posted by Scott Gurvey, New York Bureau Chief at 1:21 PM on 07/18/08

Photo of Scott GurveyBoth Microsoft and Google released quarterly earnings reports after the close yesterday which, while not exactly bad, did not meet the exuberant expectations of some Wall Street pundits. Both of these companies have some tough questions to answer going forward, as I discussed in a special Tech Talk report in last night's program.

And look at IBM, good, old, staid, and low profile. IBM just keeps on rolling. A truly global company, IBM keeps growing earnings and share price, quarter after quarter without the melodrama which seems to surround the Microsoft’s and Googles and Yahoo!s of the world.
