In fact, it seems that the Surface family of devices is now a billion dollar business for the company – officially speaking, of course. How does Microsoft classify its billion dollar organizations? Why, through a business channel which is capable of generating a whopping one billion dollars or more each quarter. The Surface Pro 3 has definitely enjoyed brisk sales for sure, while the new team device that is set to be announced is known as the Surface Hub.

Of course, this does not mean that the Surface team is immune from mistakes – far from it, as they had to go through a $900 million write-down in addition to Windows RT being more or less “dead” in the water, but at least at the end of it all, things have turned out pretty all right for Microsoft, and having experienced a billion dollar quarter is never too shabby a thing now, is it?
