We’ve already covered the financial performance of Microsoft’s More Personal Computing and Productivity and Business Processes divisions. Now, it’s time to consider the linchpin of the company’s “cloud-first, mobile-first” strategy, the Intelligent Cloud division. Fortunately for the company, that division as well achieved some growth in FY16 Q3.

Revenue in Intelligent Cloud grew 3% (up 8% in constant currency) to $6.1 billion, with the following business highlights:

Clearly, the cloud is important to Microsoft as they transition away from “the Windows company” into something dramatically different. It’s cloud revenues that will be relied upon to make up for losses in Windows sales, and so it’s a huge positive that this division continues to perform.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
