Microsoft reports lower quarterly income ahead of Windows 8 launch

  • USA: Sunday, October 21 - 2012 at 02:41

Microsoft has reported $4.47bn in net income for its first fiscal quarter of 2013, a 22% decline from the same period a year earlier, Computer World has reported. The company reported revenue of $16.01bn for the quarter that ended September 30, an 8% decline from last year. The company had generated $1.36bn of revenue from customers who already purchased copies of Windows 8 and the next version of Microsoft Office, but the software giant did not include this income because these products have not been released yet. With these sales factored in, Microsoft revenue would be approximately the same as it was for the same quarter in the previous year.
