Over the past couple years I’ve heard different rumours about how much money Microsoft makes every second, these rumours varying from $100/sec to $300,000/sec. Now I’m going to put it straight and find out just how much they profit.

During the past quarter (April - June 05), Microsoft has earned a staggering US$3.70 billion in profit, and US$10.16 billion in revenue. Let’s see what this equates to.

In one:

Day - $40,659,341
Hour - $1,694,139
Minute - $28,236
Second - $471

Now, they are remarkable figures.
