Microsoft gives its quarterly report and states it better results but also accepts the fact that Windows sales are down because of the growing demand of tablets.
Software giant Microsoft Corporation has posted financial results for its second fiscal quarter of the year, ending on December 31, 2010, and surprised market-watchers by coming up with revenue of $19.95 billion for the quarter, which translated into operating income of $8.17 billion and net income of $6.63 billion. The numbers were buoyed by 55 percent revenue growth in Microsoft’s Entertainment division, with the company moving more than 8 million Kinect sensor systems for its Xbox 360 game console—and, of course, the success of Kinect translated into sales of Xbox 360 systems, game titles, and Xbox Live subscriptions.
