Other includes income and expenses, such as legal charges, human resources expenditures, and companywide marketing efforts, that cannot be attributed to any one business segment.
This chart shows each business segment’s revenue and operating profit in the 2010 fiscal year (FY’10, which ended June 30, 2010) and the earlier year. Microsoft has not offered predictions for FY’11. FY’09 revenue figures have changed slightly since last year because of changes in how Microsoft attributes revenue to each segment.
