Summary
Microsoft Corporation filed an 8-K on April 28, 2004, to report on its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004. The filing primarily serves to furnish investors with supplemental financial information and a transcript of a conference call webcast that discussed these results. While this 8-K does not contain new material event disclosures beyond the financial reporting, it provides investors with access to detailed financial data and management commentary to better understand the company's performance during the period. Key information is provided through Exhibits 99.1 (supplemental financial information) and 99.2 (conference call transcript). These documents are crucial for investors seeking to analyze Microsoft's operational performance, profitability, and any forward-looking statements or strategic insights shared by the company's management. It's important for investors to note that the information furnished under Item 12 is not considered "filed" under Section 18 of the Exchange Act, thus limiting liability, but it remains a valuable resource for performance assessment.
