Despite the fact that Microsoft recently posted its first declines in revenue and earnings in its history, stockholders today at the company's annual shareholder meeting appeared forgiving.

None of the audience harangued the company for not doing better in the current economy, although Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer took a defensive stance on the company's performance anyway.

"Our numbers show we're on the right track, driven by strong revenues from the Windows Division and the Xbox 360," he said.
