Microsoft Posts First Quarterly Loss Ever

Posted by samzenpus on from the hole-in-the-bucket dept.

HangingChad writes "Microsoft's announcement of a late October release date for Windows 8 was eclipsed by its earnings report, in which the computer giant posted its first-ever quarterly loss since going public in 1986. The loss stems from Microsoft's continued struggles with the online services division."
