Microsoft last week announced better-than-expected Q1 2015 earnings, giving pause to its critics. Granted, net income registered a year-over-year drop. However, revenue totaled $23.2 billion, compared to the previous year’s $18.53 billion. Bear in mind the results include $1.14 billion, or 11 cents a share, in costs related to Microsoft’s restructuring plan and the ongoing integration of the Nokia devices and services business. Analysts had expected revenue to total $22.02 billion and net income to be 49 cents a share.
