Operating income for the first quarter of the previous year of $3.49 billion included a charge of $536 million related to the Novell Inc. settlement. ... Mobile and Embedded Devices revenue was up more than 50% due to continued adoption of Windows Mobile� software.

Microsoft is reporting double-digit growth in operating income and more growth is expected from all the exciting product launches in the coming months. The earnings release can viewed over here. The above image is a screen shot from the PowerPoint presentation that can be viewed over here and you will notice that it highlights the Motorola Q announcement, instead of highlighting the success of HTC devices. :-( This report is clearly aimed at the Wall Street investors who are familiar with the brand names Palm and Motorola. ;-)
