    Our Comments 

    The fact that Microsoft is planning to lay off staff coupled with the numbers being talked about means that this is not just any layoff. If Microsoft is feeling the pinch, then like Detroit's car manufacturers, others along the line are going to catch a cold. Expect Value Added Resellers amongst others to be affected.
