Say what you want about Microsoft, but one thing remains, they are still the 800lb Gorilla. Even though Apple laid down an impressive 15.7 Billion last quarter, it still came up short against Microsoft’s 16.04 Billion Dollar 4th Quarter. While Microsoft energizes their employees to be developers, Developers, DEVELOPERS! for the recently previewed Windows Phone 7 devices due out later this year, he will rest easy tonight knowing he is still wearing the Heavyweight Belt.
“Microsoft Corp. today announced record fourth-quarter revenue of $16.04 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, a 22% increase from the same period of the prior year. Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $5.93 billion, $4.52 billion and $0.51 per share, which represented increases of 49%, 48% and 50%, respectively, when compared with the prior year period.”
Microsoft’s press release is after the break for reading enjoyment.
