Microsoft Profit Up 35% Thanks to Windows 7 Profits
By
Microsoft reported third-quarter sales rose 6.3% and net income rose 35% to $4.01 billion. Even though revenue missed some analysts’ predictions, Microsoft said it had “strong growth” where sales hit $14.5 billion for the quarter that ended on March 31.
Sales hit a record $14.5bn, up 6% on the same period a year earlier. Windows 7 has proved to be Microsoft’s best-selling operating system to date after the disappointing Vista. The company’s results are closely tied to computer sales because its two most profitable divisions make the Windows Operating System and Office business software.
