Top line companywide growth: 25% year over year.

Client growth 25% to $4.14 billion, with operating profit up 27% to $3.36 billion.

Server unit came in with operating income of $963 million, a 25% increase, on sales of $2.9 billion, a 16% gain.

The Business unit eked out $4.1 billion during the same time period, a 20% gain, with operating income up 21% to $2.7 billion.

However, the Online and Entertainment BUs managed to lose $592 million on sales on $2.6 billion.

All dollar amounts in US dollars.

If these are the signs of a company, or in the case of the client unit, a business that is in death throes, I would love to hear why!

Accordingly, the stock blew up on Friday.
