Yesterday Microsoft released its financial results for the fourth quarter of last year. Over this period the company has a turnover totaling 19.02 billion, an increase of 14% over the last three months of 2008 (16.629 billion). Also note a profit of 6.6 billion dollars for a 60% increase over one year. The CA of the first semester amounted to 31.94 billion dollars.
Peter Klein, responsible for financial operations of the group said: "The exceptional demand for Windows 7 has drawn a positive growth for the company." Indeed, Microsoft has sold 60 million licenses for its latest operating system released last October 22.
It is therefore not surprising to learn that the Windows division and Windows Live services is one that has recorded the highest turnover (6.9 billion against $ 4 billion the previous year). The year 2009 also marked the release of Windows Server 2008 R2. The group "Server and Tools," then shows a slight increase (3.88 billion against 3.75 billion). For its part the Business Department has registered a small decline (4.74 billion against 4.88 billion). Same thing for the entertainment and electronics (2.9 billion against 3.2 billion).
