ΔΕΝ ΙΚΑΝΟΠΟΙΟΥΝ ΟΙ ΠΩΛΗΣΕΙΣ WINDOWS PHONE

Ο CEO της Microsoft Steve Ballmer ανακοίνωσε ότι οι πωλήσεις των windows phone δεν είναι αυτές που περίμενε η εταιρεία όταν έβγαλε τους στόχους της. Ακόμα επεσήμανε ότι είναι ακόμα η αρχή και με τα mango περιμένουν περισσότερες πωλήσεις αν σκεφτεί κανείς ότι πέρυσι δεν υπήρχαν καθόλου windows phone.

“Appraisal and other relevant information considered by the independent members of the Board, including: Mr. Ballmer’s performance against his individual commitments; the operating income performance of the Company relative to 25 large technology companies (a group that includes most of our Technology Peers); successful product launches including Kinect for Xbox and Office 365, enhancements to Windows Azure and Bing; continued progress positioning the company as a leader in the cloud and cloud-based infrastructure; key partnerships with Facebook and Nokia; significant progress in development of the next generation of Windows; work toward the successful acquisition of Skype; lower than expected initial sales of Windows Phone 7; the 2% decline in revenue for the Windows and Windows Live Division; the need for further progress in new form factors; and an overall strong financial year in which Microsoft reported record revenue of $69.9 billion, record operating income of $27.1 billion, and record earnings per share of $2.69 representing 12%, 13%, and 28% growth, respectively.”
