Microsoft reports record first-quarter revenue of $18.53 billion
Nice boost in their search revenue, if your wondering why Google's CPCs are going down, that is why. Microsoft has gotten serious about exploiting their search engine tech and that is having an effect [1]. Unlike 'recuter' I don't think this is their "Blackberry Moment" :-)<p>Google is smearing the smartphone market, at the expense of Apple's cash engine, Microsoft is smearing the Search market at the expense of Google's cash engine and Linux is smearing the operating system market at the expense of Microsoft's cash engine. Seems like there is a lot of pressure to diversify.<p>[1] <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/24/pricing-engine-adwords-bing/" rel="nofollow">http://techcrunch.com/2013/10/24/pricing-engine-adwords-bing...</a>
