Submission + - Microsoft Vista sales good after all
Strudelkugel writes: TheStreet.com is reporting Microsoft sales of Vista and Office 2007 are going well: "Client software, which accounted for 37% of revenue in the quarter, surged 67% in the quarter, thanks to Vista sales. Business software, about one-third of total revenue, gained 34%. "There were some questions about how well Vista and Office 2007 would be received, and they've been very well received," said Tracy. "The client business was approximately $400 million higher than our guidance, and the business division was about $200 million higher." The Redmond, Wash., software giant also exceeded the Street's net profit estimates to a significant degree, reporting that net income grew $4.93 billion, or 50 cents a share, from $2.98 billion, or 29 cents a share, a year earlier." That's a nice chunk of change.
