On the contrary, there was a 1% drop in the Windows and Windows Live Division (which sold over 400 million licenses) with the annual percentile decrement being 2%.
There was 17% revenue growth in the Online Services Department on the fourth quarter while in the year was 15%. In the Entertainment and Devices Department, the revenue growth was 30% for the fourth quarter while for the full year was 45%.
According to the Microsoft fourth quarter and full year reports, the company registered double-digit growth in the revenues and earnings. I think its sound. With the trend that it has set, and the demand of all its products, be it in small enterprises or international corporations and to cap it all, the features that it has introduced to the social connections such as Facebook; these will help in vouching for it a better position for the year 2012.
