Microsoft Q4 Profits Up 7 Percent
While Microsoft lost money on the XBOX 360 due to recalls and warranty claims, they have managed to do quite well all things considered. Their profit for Q4 is up 7% with Office and Vista doing well. While Vista didn’t do as well as Microsoft had hoped, it still is selling and after the initial bugs were sorted, consumers felt more comfortable with the new operating system.
Microsoft also released the Zune, an iPod clone that has also been doing ok. Overall, Microsoft continues to do best when it comes to software. Office is doing exceptionally well and has been getting very positive reviews. I’m not sure it’s worth buying the new Office every time a new version is released, but, either way, it seems that a good amount of people seem to agree that Microsoft Office is the best business software suite on the market.
