led by increased adoption by customers of Windows NT Server and Windows 2000 Server. Revenue from Server Applications grew strongly, largely due to the strong success of SQL Server 7.0. Software Developer Tools and Services revenue declined, due to increased suite licensing versus stand- alone licenses, and the lack of a release upgrade of the Visual Studio development system. In fiscal 1999, the revenue growth rate for Windows NT Server was healthy. Revenue from Server Applications grew strongly, reflecting, in part, the release of SQL Server 7.0. The Visual Studio 6.0 development system drove healthy Developer Tools and Services revenue growth. Consulting services revenue rose substantially. 

Consumer Software, Services, and Devices 

Consumer Software, Services, and Devices revenue was $1.19 billion, $1.63 billion, and $1.95 billion in 1999, 2000, and 2001. Consumer Software, Services, and Devices includes MSN Internet access; MSN network service; WebTV Internet access and services; PC and online games; learning and productivity software; mobile and wireless devices; and embedded systems. In fiscal 2001, revenue from MSN network services grew strongly in light of the decline in the online advertising market. MSN Internet access revenue also grew solidly as a result of an increased subscriber base, partially offset by a decline in the average revenue per subscriber due to a larger mix of subscribers contracted under rebate programs. Revenue from embedded systems grew strongly from the prior year, while learning and productivity software revenue and PC and online games revenue declined, reflecting softness in the overall consumer market. In fiscal 2000, online revenue growth was very strong and reflected higher subscriber totals, offset by lower net prices for Internet access subscriptions compared to the prior year. Additionally, strong sell-through of entertainment software produced robust revenue growth. In fiscal 1999, online advertising revenue rose substantially and Internet access revenue increased moderately. 

Consumer Commerce Investments 

Consumer Commerce Investments revenue was $62 million, $182 million, and $299 million in 1999, 2000, and 2001. Consumer Commerce Investments include Expedia, Inc., the HomeAdvisor online real estate service, and the CarPoint online automotive service. Acquisitions of Travelscape.com and VacationSpot.com by Expedia, Inc., and increased product offerings from Expedia led to the strong revenue growth in fiscal 2001. The increased overall reach of all properties led to the strong revenue growth in fiscal 2000 and 1999. 

On July 16, 2001, USA Networks, Inc. (USA) announced an agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Expedia through the purchase of up to 37.5 million shares, approximately 75% of the current outstanding shares. If holders of more than 37.5 million Expedia shares elect to sell their shares to USA, there will be a pro rata reduction among all electing shareholders. Microsoft has agreed to transfer all of its 33.7 million shares and warrants, subject to pro- ration. It is expected that the transaction will close by December 31, 2001.
