When will Microsoft have 100,000 employees?

Current forecast: Won't happen in 2009 (75% chance3%)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is Won't happen in 2009 with a probability of 75% (down 3% in last 1 day)

Microsoft currently has about 95,000 employees world-wide, up from 91,000 at July.

Will it keep on hiring at that rate? Will it acquire another company? Will it have lay-offs?
