Think he meant to say "All I've". Hope he proofreads that paper better than he did that post.

Of course I can understand, it is probably due 8 AM tomorrow, so he doesn't have time to breathe, let alone proofread.

There was an article about the new CFO this year in CFO magazine which included some good information. Should be available online at cfo.com.

Try Marketguide for financial information. If you cannot access it through this link, try accessing it through Yahoo! MSFT profile.

Try looking through their home page for links. Most companies have sections of their site devoted to the issues you mention. Look through their annual reports and 10-Ks and 10-Qs (which are on their website - check Investor Information) for additional information on diversity, leadership and management (bios of Bill Gates and Ballmer and others), and organizational structure. Finally, check out 'Microserfs' by Douglas Coupland for an incredible insight into Microsoft culture and the 'cult of Bill'.

Use Google to search for articles on Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer as they will provide the impetus for motivation of the company's employees etc.

That should be plenty of information to turn in an 'A' paper.
