Today Microsoft released their financial reports for the quarter that just ended in December 2012 and you can read it all right here for yourself.
Now I am not a financial analyst and have never claimed to be one so I see these reports by their headlines like many consumers and end users do.
However, I follow a lot of tech and mainstream news sites and what gets me is the variation in the headlines that are about the same exact report that I just linked you to at the beginning of this story.
