Il semble que la position hégémonique de Microsoft soit de plus en plus difficile à tenir et l'accueil mitigé de Vista n'aura - dans une certaine mesure - pas été étranger à la décision de Dell d'offrir une alternative à ses clients.
Microsoft reported earnings of 4ドル.93 billion, or 50 cents a share, compared with 2ドル.98 billion, or 29 cents, in the year-earlier period. Revenue rose 32% to 14ドル.4 billion.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial had expected Microsoft to post earnings of 46 cents a share on revenue of 13ドル.89 billion.
Microsoft's Client division, which includes Vista, reported 5ドル.27 billion in sales for the quarter, compared with 3ドル.15 billion in the period a year earlier. Liddell declined to offer a specific update on Vista license sales. Microsoft has said it sold 20 million Vista licenses in its first month of availability.
"Client revenue was surprising," said McAdams Wright Ragen analyst Sid Parakh. "They came in pretty nice actually, which might indicate Vista is doing OK," Parakh said.
Microsoft said Thursday it expects 2008 revenue of 56ドル.5 billion to 57ドル.5 billion, topping the consensus analyst estimate of 56ドル.2 billion. The company said it expects earnings of 1ドル.68 a share to 1ドル.72 a share for the year, at the high end of consensus estimates.
"The key was guidance," Parakh said, "It was pretty good, and Microsoft is usually conservative."
