Overall, Microsoft’s had a really good quarter, with growth across the board for almost all its businesses. Although performance in its gaming business may disappoint some, that’s likely because of the lack of any new hardware from Microsoft as it’s getting ready to unveil the future of Xbox. The growth in Surface, Azure, Windows, and Office continues to bring in lots of money for Redmond, keeping up its market cap of $1 trillion.
