From the EMC Q3 2007 Earnings Webcast presentation:
EPS excluding VMW contribution and excluding one time gain on sale of VMW stock to Cisco is $0.15. VMWare contributed an <b>additional<... $0.026 per share.
If you see slide 13 of 22, the change in EPS for the Infrastructure (i.e. excluding VMW) is about 18% YoY.
YTD07 EMC Infrastructure EPS is $0.53. Add another $0.15 for Q42007 and you get $0.68 for 2007 EPS.
Assuming a 18% YOY growth, 2008 Infrastructure EPS should be about $0.68*1.18 = $0.80.
