Revenue from Microsoft's Entertainment and Devices Division, boosted by the success of the Kinect sensor and associated Xbox 360 consoles, grew by 55 percent from a year ago.

I have to say Microsoft has been pretty awesome as of recently. Ever since windows 7 they've been doing stuff right. Working with the people who jailbroke their new phone, Microsoft Security Essentials, the Kinect, then not trying to shut down the open source drivers for it, Windows 7 as a whole. The list goes on.

Despite an industry-wide 8 percent drop in video-gaming sales last month, sales of Microsoft's Xbox 360 rose 37 percent year over year, according to new NPD Group numbers.

    I have to agree. Microsoft had a really rough time after releasing Vista, which was just awful in many ways. I'm glad they've actually learned from that and have pumped out a good OS.

    I must agree with you, good sir. Kinect was an awesome competition for the Wii. No controllers needed. The future is here.

    Microsoft has been doing very good things recently.

    Apple...not so much.

    I may be typing this from one of their computers, but that does not mean my love for them goes any further than the fact that they keep replacing my laptop out of a sense of duty.

    Still need Blu-Ray on the 360 and I'd buy one, I'll stick with my PS3 until then, even though I'm bored by the games for it...
