Anyhow.... We should expect revenue to be up and profit margins down.


Revenue up around 10% and profit down around the same as they continue dealing with the integration of Nokia and the lay offs.


This is also in line with the shift to cloud and the promotion of repeat income licencing fees that MS is using to reposition itself for the longer term.

I wonder how the next FY will pan out for them with Windows 10 being given away to such a huge amount of people (70% of the market).

Its not that big of a deal these days.  Over 50% of revenue is commercial licensing now and windows is an ever shrinking source of revenue.

They are morphiong to open source.   There is no doubt.

Fair enough. I'm hoping it's offset by the increased interest in Windows Phone (however naive that may be).

MS need to nail this synergy approach.
