Microsoft Corporation Research
Report
Microsoft, once the most dominant software company in the world,
recently entered the computer hardware business with its Surface
tablet, hoping to veer away people from Apple's iPad and cheaper
tablets that carry Google's Android operating system. However,
sales have been dismal as customers expected the tablet to replace
their laptops when it was found out it was unable to run
traditional windows applications. The Surface Pro is what customers
were looking for in a Windows-powered tablet, but critics have
panned the device altogether with lackluster battery life and high
price tag. However, the company is optimistic with its Windows 8
sales thanks to better Surface-inspired hardware from vendors such
as HP, Dell, and Lenovo. Sales of the OS are starting to reach
Windows 7 levels, and should eclipse that this year with Windows 8
hybrids, which could soon eclipse today's tablets. In addition, the
launch of its new generation of its Xbox gaming console could help
bring more profits moving forward. The Full Research Report on

Hewlett-Packard Company Research
Report
After its last attempt to enter the tablet market, computer
hardware giant Hewlett-Packard has re-entered the mobile market
with the announcement of a NVIDIA Tegra 4-powered Android tablet,
which would also be the first tablet to carry NVIDIA's new chip.
This comes after HP set up a new mobility division late last year
to focus on consumer tablets and other mobile offerings. The
company is also looking to step up its oversight on Chinese
suppliers, who are known to take advantage of student and temporary
workers, after the Chinese government implemented an enactment
protecting the said workers. HP proposes that students from
vocational schools will be limited in their suppliers' workforce,
must work in an area relevant to their study, and be allowed to
leave without penalty after giving reasonable notice. The Full

Cray Inc. Research Report
Supercomputer manufacturer Cray saw its stock price rise 7.1
percent to 19.47 after releasing its Q4 and full year 2012
financial results. The company reported revenue of $188.8 million for the quarter, just barely
surpassing the consensus estimate of $187.6
million, while posting higher GAAP reported sales of
$91.6 million. Earnings per share
meanwhile came in at 44 cents, which
came up short of the expected 51
cents per share. Last month, the company scored a
$23 million contract to supply
supercomputers to a German weather prediction center, which is
touted as the company's comeback plan as more tech companies are
adopting the almost abandoned technology of supercomputing once
again, with the rise of the field known as "Big Data." The Full

Dell Inc. Research Report
Computer hardware manufacturer Dell is inching closer to going
private, after CEO Michael Dell
agreed to roll over his shares at a lower price in order to
facilitate the $24 billion deal,
agreeing that the shares will be valued at $13.36 per share compared to the previously
agreed-upon $13.65 offered to the
shareholders. However, as more investment firms with ownership
stakes in the company oppose the sale, the price of the deal may
still go higher. In addition, the opposition could instead result
to either spinning off Dell's personal computer business and/or
make major acquisitions to beef up its competitive position, both
of which are being looked into by the company if going private may
not push through. The Full Research Dell

Apple Inc. Research Report
Consumer electronics juggernaut Apple has long been rumored to
be working on a piece of wearable technology in a form of a watch,
possibly named "iWatch." There are also talks of outing a
lower-cost iPhone to tap into the emerging markets that its
Android-toting competitors are currently dominating. However, it is
not seen if both products could get Apple out of its stock price
rut, which is now at the $400 level
from highs of more than $700 per
share last year. Nevertheless, the company still has $137 billion in cash and could see an additional
$40 billion every year with its
continuing sales of iPhones, iPads, and more. Analysts believe that
Apple will be growing 15 to 16 percent this year, and an additional
12 to 14 percent in 2014. The Full Research Report on Apple Inc. -

targets - is available to download free of charge at:
