Microsoft shrugs off the pressure, breaks records
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft may appear to be under fire from a lot of quadrants these days, but that doesn't appear to have harmed the company's ability to print money.
The company announced Thursday another record for its fiscal third quarter in terms of gross revenues, and Microsoft executives say they are optimistic that they can keep that pace through the end of fiscal 2008 and into 2009.
For its third fiscal quarter, ending March 31, the company brought in $14.45 billion in revenues and operating income of $4.41 billion. That compares with $14.4 billion in revenues for fiscal 2007's third quarter, and operating income of $6.59 billion.
