Summary
Microsoft Corporation filed an 8-K report on April 27, 2006, to announce its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006. The primary purpose of this filing was to furnish a press release containing these results, as required by SEC regulations. Investors should note that this information, while important for understanding the company's performance, is furnished and not deemed 'filed' for liability purposes under Section 18 of the Exchange Act unless expressly incorporated into other filings. The key takeaway for investors is that this 8-K serves as the official channel for disseminating the quarterly earnings information, providing a snapshot of Microsoft's financial health and operational performance during that period. While the 8-K itself does not contain the detailed financial figures, it directs readers to the accompanying press release (Exhibit 99.1) for that crucial data.
