Numbers-wise, Microsoft’s latest quarterly earnings suggest a lot of upside for the company, with a stronger-than-expected $19.95 billion (£12.57 billion) in revenue and $6.63 billion (£4.18 billion) in net income.

Microsoft reported positive news in a number of diverse segments. For the three months ended December 31, its Business Division revenue grew 24 percent year-over-year. In addition, some eight million Kinect units apparently sold in the hands-free controller’s first 60 days of release, giving the company a solid win on the consumer side of the equation and helping boost revenues for its Entertainment and Devices Division."
