Microsoft Will Make A Major Announcement On Monday   MICROSOFT
is inviting the media to an event on Monday where it will
announce something.  We are afraid that is all we have for now.
The company said it will hold an event on Monday, and we assume
that while there someone will take to a stage, it could be Steve
Ballmer, and say something. After this people, cynics might
suggest stooges, could whoop and clap. We just don’t know.
Microsoft did have a statement of sorts about a potential Yammer
purchase when we asked it this morning, but its PR team seems to
have withdrawn its head like a smacked turtle since we pushed
for more detail on this event.  The Associated Press, which
apparently is invited, has an oblique email that urges it to
attend the event in Los Angeles, and adds, “This will be a major
Microsoft announcement – you will not want to miss it.”  As it
will be held in LA the easy assumption to make is that Microsoft
will announce something to do with films and movie streaming.
It does some of this
