CIO — While 2011 was not a successful year for
Microsoft products, the company held constant in between criticism regarding its
absence from the tablet market, its late arrival to the cloud, and low sales for
Windows Phones.
However, financially the bottom line was not a
problem in Redmond. For financial 2011, Microsoft mark a record-breaking $69.9
billion in revenue, up 12 percent from fiscal 2010. And it did this despite
sluggish sales of Windows and PCs.
