BBC News - Microsoft profits flat despite strong Kinect sales: "Microsoft's profits for the last three months of 2010 were barely changed, despite the popularity of its Kinect controller and strong sales of Office 2010 to businesses.
Net income was $6.63bn (£4.18bn), down from $6.66bn in 2009.
Sales in the Windows division fell 30% because of the launch of Windows 7 in the corresponding quarter of 2009.
The results were better than expected, as analysts had predicted weak PC sales would hit Microsoft harder."
