Microsoft Cashes In Third Quarter
For anyone who has pooh-poohed Microsoft as the aging, humongous behemoth who was going to be financially undone because of the size of the company, they're probably wondering how Microsoft
managed to drum up $4 billion in third-quarter profit. Even with a hit on deferred Office revenue, Microsoft managed to best analysts' expected 42 cents per share by two cents.
Those pooh-poohers are probably going to go back at it, as Microsoft's stock took a small hit after the market closed.
It is a bit troubling that the Windows division generated the lion's share of the revenue for the company. Really, how long is that going to last? Predictions here.
