Summary
This filing is an amendment to a previous Form 8-K filed by Microsoft Corporation on November 12, 2004. The original 8-K furnished consolidated financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004, formatted in XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language). This amendment (8-K/A) serves to correct minor inaccuracies within the XBRL instance document. Specifically, it addresses a modified tag for a dividend line item and corrected values for shares outstanding, other comprehensive income, and retained earnings. It's important to note that these corrections are limited to the XBRL document and do not affect the official Form 10-Q filed on November 9, 2004. The amendment emphasizes that the XBRL documents are for illustrative purposes and not intended for investment decisions.
