Note the keyword is "first-quarter". Usually for Microsoft the first quarter of the fiscal year is a little below other quarters. But this first quarter is still below what MS typically achieves the other 3 quarters of the year:
- 1st quarter of last year: $16.01 billion
- 2nd quarter of last year: $21.46 billion
- 3rd quarter of last year: $20.49 billion
- 4th quarter of last year: $19.90 billion
- 1st quarter of this year: $18.53 billion (the "record" one)
