Reuters - Microsoft Corp.’s MSN Internet division posted its first-ever quarterly operating profit of $58 million since it was launched eight years ago, the world’s largest software maker said in a regulatory filing on Thursday. The results show that four of Microsoft seven business divisions are generating an operating profit, which excludes taxes and investment charges. The other three divisions: Business Solutions, cell phone and device software business, and home and entertainment, are still posting operating losses, according to data from the latest quarter ended Sept. 30.

I particularily like the description: Don’t be a scrooge, get into the spirit of things this Christmas with this great desk sized Christmas tree! On a sturdy rubber base this USB powered Christmas tree will flash through a rainbow of colours(6 of them) and encourage festive spirits all day long. It will make a great Christmas gift or decoration, get yours today! I got mine from a local online store , but a google search shows lots of places selling these.
