Good results during the first term for Microsoft

Microsoft has presented its account of results of this first term of the year with some data very hoped, which are given to understand the correct approach which are presenting for the future.

We have been some months of changes and decisions on Microsoft and they start to have results, in fact this term Microsoft practically has maintained its benefits respect to the same in the last year with 20.403 millions of dollars, which has given some benefits of 6.974 millions of dollars.

Although they are slightly lower than last year´s figures, we see how it is they produce a turnaround, a strategic shift that begins to work.

First Surface is growing, logging about 500 millions dollars which is expressed as an increase of 50%, here you can see how the strategy of Surface enhanced with the second generation in the market. Along with this data say Apple reported a decrease of 16 % from sales of iPad, which could lead to a change in consumer trends towards tablets with Windows.

Now we move to Office 365, which has a brutal growth with more than a million new subscriptions in the last three months, creating a near 100 % growth, this can be understood with the end of support for Windows XP and the inclusion of this suite on other platforms.

The research of Bing also has increased 18%, keeps increasing a great search, with very great characteristics in EE.UU, but the rest in the world are not available yet. I hope they get to balance the research with all the characteristics which offer in United States for the rest in the world, so it maybe they can see the great advance and it keeps consolidating.   

Now we must highlight the increase in licenses of Windows, increasing these in a 19% in its version of Windows Pro for manufacturers, making contrast with the objective of the support of Windows XP and the necessity of updating the operating system.

Finally we must highlight the incredible increase of Azure, with an increase of 150%, which supposes other change of tendency, each time there is more necessity of using the services in the cloud and Microsoft knows how to take them to the people. This division was what before Satya managed and we can see that he made a splendid labor. We hope he can take the same way including all the divisions of the company with strategies based in utility, productivity and contributing value to the user.

We hope Microsoft keeps on this way!
