Microsofts two biggest cash cows in its second quarter were the Business Division and Server Tools not Windows.



From All About Microsoft:

For the past couple of weeks, Microsoft officials had been warning investors that PC shipments were going to be worse than many had expected due to flooding in Thailand. So it’s not too surprising that Windows/Windows Live revenues were down six percent and profits down 11 percent.

But Windows’ decline was offset by strong performance by the Business Division and Server and Tools, with $6.3 billion and $4.8 billion in revenues, respectively. Strong performances by Office, SharePoint, Exchange, Lync and Dynamics CRM all contributed to the Business Division’s bottom line, according to Microsoft execs. Windows Server, SQL Server and System Center all turned in strong sales in Server & Tools, company officials said.
