Windows sales were up for the quarter,  4%, and 19% for the Pro license to OEMs.    The Surface writedown was long, what, 3 quarters ago?  That moneys been made back and then some. 

 

Still, have to blame Nokia, they haven't release anything really new in the quarter at all, the rate at which they would bring new devices to market is too slow, something MS can help speed up.
