I love your spin on things... just love it.
Microsoft experienced double digit revenue growth YOY. Also, the
business unit *and* mobile unit experienced profits for the first time.
In other words, MS is kicking ass again and growing strong.
Yes, they increased spending - mostly to be able to meet the extremely
