Microsoft Corp. today announced that revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were $22.2 billion. Gross margin, operating loss, and loss per share for the quarter were $14.7 billion, $(2.1) billion, and $(0.40) per share, respectively.
These results include the impact of a $7.5 billion non-cash impairment charge related to assets associated with the acquisition of the Nokia Devices and Services (NDS) business, in addition to a restructuring charge of $780 million. There was also a charge of $160 million related to the previously announced integration and restructuring plan. Combined, these items totaled $8.4 billion or a $1.02 per share negative impact. Excluding this impact, operating income and EPS would have been $6.4 billion and $0.62, respectively.

One upon a time users jumped on the new Windows releases with zeal. But since Windows 8 no-one wants to touch them.
Often I hear potential customers in computer stores asking if they can buy a new computer with Windows 7 instead of 8 and then walking out in disgust. One computer store in our area is doing better than all others because they go to the trouble of stocking laptops and PCs with Windows 7.
Similarly Windows 10 will not get much interest where the user has a choice.

I tried to get a few copies of Windows 7 last week and was told that for the enterprise clients I'd have to get Windows 10 and exercise a downgrade option. It's becoming more difficult to get a simple copy of Win7.
