"We saw record revenue and record profit, driven by strong demand for Windows 7 and PCs (personal computers)," Microsoft CFO Peter Klein said

"What we are finding is people want Windows 7 on all devices in all form factors," Klein continued.

"With Windows 7 we have tremendous consumer momentum and a great product for the enterprise market when it recovers," Microsoft general manager of investor relations Bill Koefoed said.
