Another profitable quarter for Microsoft. It saw a 34.5 percent increase in net income to $4 billion, on top of a more modest 6 percent increase in quarterly revenues to $14.5 billion. The return to growth was brought about largely by sales of Windows 7, which were up 28 percent to $4.4 billion. Microsoft is on the road to update the products in Windows Live such as Hotmail and Messenger to make them more user friendly. Whatever we say about Windows it is almost always a fantastic profit machine. Bing and Xbox Live were also greatly profited, though on a whole basis they weren’t much to make a great difference.
