Microsoft has announced its quarterly results regarding their fourth fiscal quarter 2015, which ended June 30. Total revenue was 22.2 billion US-Dollar, gross margin, operating loss, and loss per share are 14.7 billion US-Dollar, 2.1 billion US-Dollar and 0.40 US-Dollar per share, respectively.

Included in these results is a 7.5 billion payment Microsoft had to related to the acquisition of Nokia Devices and Services. Apart from that the company spent 780 million US-Dollar on restructuring as well as another 160 million US-Dollar on a previously announced integration and restructuring plan.

Satya Nadella, current chief executive officer at Microsoft said, that "our approach to investing in areas where we have differentiation and opportunity is paying off with Surface, Xbox, Bing, Office 365, Azure and Dynamics CRM Online all growing by at least double-digits, and the upcoming release of Windows 10 will create new opportunities for Microsoft and our ecosystem."

With the launch of Windows 10 ahead on the 29th of July the next quarter is indeed a very important one. Since the entire industry had suffered a comparably weak second quarter, it is eagarly looking forward to the launch of highly anticipated Windows 10. There will be lots of opportunities for a large diversity of vendors ahead and we're sure, there will be countless announcements made with the launch of Windows 10.
