However, Microsoft's stock fell slightly in after-hours trading, indicating that analysts may have been expecting more.

Among the results was a 2% increase in revenues for the Windows and Windows Live division, which was "in line with the PC market," according to a release from the company. Microsoft also reported that it has sold 450 million units of Windows 7 since launch. That slight gain was offset by an 8% jump in revenues for Microsoft's Business Division.

Microsoft's Bing search engine, meanwhile, now has 14.7% market share, up 3.5% over the previous year.

The tepid sales for Windows contrast with a 48% jump in revenues for Apple's Macs over the same period.
