Microsoft had a pretty good result with its second quarter results especially after two previous quarters of somewhat subjugated reports.

Microsoft’s posting a record of $19.02 billion in revenue, a 14 percent increase year-over-year. The net income or profit is $6.66 billion. Buoyed by all that is $1.71 billion in deferred revenue for Windows 7 pre-sales – that in laymen’s terms means money the company made before the fiscal quarter began but could not then claim it because the product (Windows 7) hadn’t yet been delivered to the consumer. Speaking of the platform, Microsoft is claiming to now have “the fastest selling operating system in history” with 60 million licenses sold.

What a better way to start the year; let us see how the rest of 2010 goes out.
