Strong sales of Office and Windows software help fuel profit!

The division responsible for Microsoft's longtime surefire profit engine,
the Windows operating system, posted a 16 percent rise in earnings to
$3.22 billion in the quarter!

The company sold 50 million Vista licenses in the quarter, for a total
of 190 million since the operating system's January 2007 launch!

Windows Vista and Office 2007 - A HUGH SUCCESS!

Feel the WOW:

Windows Vista - The best operating system in the universe!
