AutoDesk (ADSK) reported good earnings again. This is one of the best software stocks in Silicon Valley. They make computer aided design (or CAD) software, which is used by architects and engineers. It's the second-oldest software company, younger than only Microsoft (MSFT).

Much of AutoDesk's success is due to its CEO Carol Bartz. After 13 years at the helm, she's stepping down in May. Business Week has more on Bartz's future ("Just Don't Call It Retirement").

Seeking Alpha has the transcript from yesterday's conference call.
