Rant: Why is this "Hacker news"? This is nothing spectacular, almost everything was in line with analyst estimates. They are suppose to do this every quarter... I can understand Apple earning stories coz they were out of ordinary.

If it starts going this way we will see a bunch of earning non-stories on HN every quarter.

Atleast let me know why are you downvoting me?

Because Microsoft is by many definitions the largest tech company on the planet?

Also, I don't tend to use Microsoft products but they've shown more adaptability and outright hackerdom over the years and right through to the present day than any other company near their size except maybe Amazon. Credit where it's due.

So do you think all MS earnings announcement are suitable for hacker news?

I have no issues with links to cool research going on in MS or a new release. But I just can't seem to understand regular earnings being posted here.

Microsoft doing well means improving tech sector.
