Microsoft set to report lower profit on stale PC growth | |
|

The world's largest software maker, which powers more than 90 percent of the world's computers, is still a money-making machine, but its fortunes are tied to vulnerable PC sales and investors have doubts it can replicate its dominance in the fast-growing mobile and tablet markets. Its stock is down 2.4 percent in the last 12 months, compared with a 24 percent rise in the tech-heavy Nasdaq. |
