Microsoft announced quarterly revenue of $14.4 billion and net income of $4.93 billion. In other words, Microsoft’s daily net income is about $55 million. That’s $55 million in pure profit every 24 hours. Do some quick math and you’ll learn it takes Microsoft only about…

those ppl make way too much money
ReplyDeletei dont think its healthy

Microsoft are making most income, but their growth acceleration is declining, their new OS is not picking up, and online business is doing miserable. Reason why they put $50 Billion to acquire Yahoo.
ReplyDeleteAs for Google, their quarter profit is around $2.2 bn. They still exceed it, but just a note to correct.
eshda3wa: Bill Gates announced he will only be giving $1 million to each of his children, the rest is for charities! His children now probably wish they were only part of the charity :P
He is one of the most contributing persons to the charities. He has his own organization for charity.
