New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Schedule of the impact of the early adoption of new accounting pronouncement on previously reported financial statements

The adoption of the new guidance did not have a significant impact on the calculation of diluted weighted average shares. The impact of the adoption on our previously reported quarterly results for fiscal year 2016 follows:

	Three Months Ended January 31, 2016				Six Months Ended April 30, 2016
	As Reported		As Adjusted		As Reported		As Adjusted
	(in millions, except per share amounts)
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations:
Provision for income taxes	$	19	$	21	$	45	$	47
Net income	$	123	$	121	$	214	$	212
Net income per share - Basic	$	0.37	$	0.37	$	0.65	$	0.65
Net income per share - Diluted	$	0.37	$	0.36	$	0.65	$	0.64
Weighted average shares used in computing net income per share - Diluted	332		332		330		330

We elected to apply the presentation requirements for cash flows related to excess tax benefits and employee taxes paid for withheld shares retrospectively to all periods presented which resulted in an increase to both net cash from operations and net cash used in financing of $1 million and $6 million for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016, respectively. The presentation requirements for cash flows also impacted our previously reported quarterly condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 as follows:
