We run our business in much the same way, and believe our three core business divisions offer the greatest potential to serve our customers. They are:

  • Platform Products and Services Division: Includes the Client Group, the Server & Tools Group, and the Online Services Group
  • Business Division: Includes the Information Worker Group, the Microsoft Business Solutions Group, and the Unified Communications Group
  • Entertainment and Devices Division: Includes the Home & Entertainment Group and the Mobile & Embedded Devices Group

We are committed long term to the mission of helping our customers realize their full potential. Just as we constantly update and improve our products, we want to continually evolve our company to be in the best position to accelerate new technologies as they emerge and to better serve our customers.
