REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustees and Participants of

Microsoft Corporation Savings Plus 401(k) Plan

Redmond, Washington

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of the Microsoft Corporation Savings Plus 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the changes in assets available for benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment as of December 31, 2007, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2007 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MICROSOFT CORPORATION SAVINGS PLUS 401(k) PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Microsoft Corporation Savings Plus 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”), a defined contribution plan, is sponsored by Microsoft Corporation (the “Company” or “Microsoft”). Participating employers include Microsoft Corporation; MSNBC Interactive News, LLC; Microsoft Capital Corporation; Microsoft Licensing, GP; MOL Corporation; and Vexcel Corporation. The Plan year is January 1 through December 31. The Plan is administered by the 401(k) Administrative Committee and is funded by Company contributions (including Company contributions of employee salary deferrals) made to the trust. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The information below summarizes certain aspects of the Plan. This is a summary only; Plan participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.

ESOP Feature: The Plan includes an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) feature for the portion of the Plan designed to invest primarily in Microsoft Common Stock. The ESOP feature allows participants to either reinvest their cash dividends earned on Microsoft Common Stock or receive those dividends in cash. Amounts invested in the Microsoft Common Stock Fund are treated as being held through the ESOP, provided that at the time such amounts were received by the Plan (e.g., through contributions or transfers), the participants whose Plan accounts received such assets were employed by Microsoft or a corporation that is part of the same controlled group of corporations as Microsoft. Participants who are not employed by an employer that is established as a corporation (for example, MSNBC Interactive News, LLC) may not participate in the ESOP but may invest their contributions and earnings in Microsoft Common Stock. Employees that are not eligible to participate in the ESOP feature are not eligible to receive dividends in cash paid directly to them. Instead, dividends paid on contributions and the earnings that accumulate on those contributions will automatically be reinvested in Microsoft Common Stock.

Eligibility: Regular employees of the Company who have reached age 18 may enroll in the Plan at any time; entry dates are the 1st and 16th of the calendar month following enrollment.

Eligible Compensation: Eligible compensation includes wages, salary, bonuses, commissions, and overtime, including the amount of compensation deferred to this Plan. Compensation does not include, for example, items such as stock awards, any amounts realized on the exercise of Microsoft stock options, reimbursements or other expense allowances, fringe benefits (cash and non-cash), moving expenses, deferred compensation, welfare plan benefits including health or life insurance, or any bonuses or expense allowances which are not based upon performance as an employee.

Contributions: Participants may contribute to the Plan on a pre-tax basis and/or on an after-tax Roth basis from 1% to 50% of their eligible compensation per pay period subject to regulatory limitations. Participants may also contribute from 1% to 7% of their eligible compensation per pay period in non-Roth after-tax contributions to the Plan. Participants reaching age 50 or older by the end of the Plan year and who are making the maximum regular employee pre-tax and/or Roth elective contributions to the Plan may also elect to make additional catch-up contributions to the Plan on a pre-tax and/or after-tax Roth basis of 1% to 75% of their eligible compensation per pay period. Participant contributions may be suspended at any time and reinstated at any subsequent entry date.

The Company will make a pre-tax matching contribution of 50 cents for every dollar (up to a 6% combined pre-tax and Roth contribution rate) contributed. Participants will only be matched on pre-tax and after-tax Roth contributions and will not receive a match on non-Roth after-tax contributions or catch-up contributions. The maximum Company match is 3% of the participant’s eligible compensation, subject to regulatory limitations.

Table of Contents

Participants may also choose to make rollover contributions to the Plan of amounts received from an eligible employer plan maintained by another company, including direct rollovers from such plans.

Participant Accounts: Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocation of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. All amounts in participant accounts are participant-directed. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

Vesting: Employees are fully vested in all Plan accounts at all times.

Distributions: Active participants may take a withdrawal from the Plan to avoid a financial hardship. A hardship withdrawal is limited to the following types of money: pre-tax and after-tax rollover accounts, after-tax accounts, pre-tax contributions, and pre-tax catch-up contributions. A hardship withdrawal will result in a six-month suspension of contributions to the Plan. Active participants may withdraw all, or any portion, of the balance in their vested accounts after reaching age 59 1/2. Distributions may also occur if the participant terminates employment, retires, becomes permanently disabled, or dies. Distributions of investments in Microsoft Common Stock may be taken in the form of Company common stock or cash.

Administrative Expenses: Plan administrative expenses are currently paid by the Company to the extent not offset by expense reimbursements. Certain mutual funds offered in the Plan pay reimbursements back to Fidelity Investments, the Plan trustee. These reimbursements are in turn used to pay the trustee for Plan administrative expenses.

Participants are responsible for fees associated with certain transactions such as loan originations, Domestic Relations Order qualification, and dividend checks. Participants also pay commission charges for buying and selling Microsoft Stock within the Plan.

Plan Amendment and Termination: The Company has the right to modify, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason. If the Plan is terminated, account balances will be fully vested and will be distributed in the form and manner determined by the plan administrator.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Valuation of Investments and Participant loans: Investment alternatives are recorded at fair value based on quoted prices. Participant loans are recorded at principal balance, which approximates fair value. Security transactions are accounted for as of settlement date as the resulting difference compared to the trade date is immaterial. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded as earned.

NOTE 2: INVESTMENTS

All contributions to the Plan are held and invested by Fidelity Investments (“Fidelity”), trustee of the Plan. Participants are responsible for deciding in which of the investment alternatives their account will be invested. Participants can invest their Plan assets in any of the investment alternatives offered. There is no assurance that the investment alternative’s goals, as summarized below based on information from the investment managers, will be achieved. Full descriptions of the investment alternatives can be found in the prospectus (for mutual funds and Microsoft Common Stock) or the Investment Fact Sheet (for all alternatives except Microsoft Common Stock).

The Vanguard Value Index Fund employs a passive management approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI U.S. Prime Market Value Index, a broadly diversified index of value stocks of predominantly large U.S. companies. The fund attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index.

NOTE 3: PARTICIPANT LOANS

Loans are available in $100 increments from $1,000 to $49,500. The maximum loan amount is the lesser of (a) 50% of the vested account balance, reduced by the current outstanding balance of all other loans from the Plan; or (b) $50,000, reduced by: (1) the outstanding balance of all other outstanding loans, and (2) the excess (if any) of all Plan loans during the previous 12 months over the current outstanding balance of Plan loans. Participants are limited to two loans – one Primary Residence Loan and one General Loan. The term of a Primary Residence Loan may not exceed 15 years or be less than 12 months. The term of a General Loan may not exceed five years or be less than 12 months.

The interest rate for Primary Residence Loans is 1% plus the yield for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 30-year mortgage commitment for a standard conventional fixed-rate mortgage, delivery within 30 days. The range of interest rates for outstanding Primary Residence Loans during 2007 was 5.25% to 10.50%. The interest rate for General Loans is 1% plus the prime rate on corporate loans. The range of interest rates for outstanding General Loans during 2007 was 5.00% to 9.25%.

Loan repayments are made through after-tax, semi-monthly payroll deductions. If a participant’s employment terminates for any reason and the loan balance is not paid in full by the participant within a 60-day grace period, the loan balance will be defaulted and will become taxable income to the participant.

NOTE 4: TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan by a letter dated March 9, 2006, that the Plan is qualified as a tax-exempt plan under the appropriate sections of the Internal Revenue Code . The determination letter covered Plan amendments adopted from October 25, 2001 through October 10, 2005, and the trust agreement adopted on June 2, 2004. Therefore, the Plan is tax-exempt as of the financial statement date and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded.

NOTE 5: RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity. Fidelity is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.
