Yet another great quarter for Microsoft.

Filling in some missing numbers:

All 12.22 12.29 0.6% 0.07

Sun 1.38 1.59 15.5% 0.21
IBM 3.50 3.42 -2.2% -0.08
HP 3.46 3.40 -1.7% -0.06
Dell 1.29 1.27 -1.3% -0.02
Other 2.60 2.61 0.5% 0.01


Linux 1.41 1.50 6.1% 0.09
Unix 4.37 4.30 -1.6% -0.07
Windows 4.07 4.20 3.1% 0.13

The "Other" category is created by subtraction. Because the calculations are from rounded numbers, the results are only approximate.

The Sun result looks even more impressive with further information. I hope that the profits are large enough to halt the layoffs at the level currently identified.

Microsoft's results are impressive, comparing the $130 million gain to the $20 million gain for the combination of Unix and Linux.

Shows why Microsoft now makes more money from servers and tools than from Office.
