Thoughts on MSFT?

I'm brand new to Socialpicks and the group. Thanks for having me.

Regarding MSFT - am I alone or do others see MSFT turning to a growth stock again?

I see this stock has the potential to grow. But we or atleast me as an investor am just speculating that MSFT is seeing some opening in Web 2.0 Services and home multimedia domains. It lost around $240 million (source: some online report) in online serach and services and still it is selling XBOX 360 hardware for losses. So if it somehow turns those negetives to just a small positive, it will sure see some good days.

I have owned microsoft since before the Debut of the Xbox 360.

it has gone up from ~25 to ~36.

I think it is turning into a growth stock for a number of reasons.

1) Xbox and entertainment group has much success

2) their Operating system is being embraced better than expected

3) their os, built into most new CPU's is being sold more in emerging markets, which will lead to more profit and growth
