According to Hood, the cause of the failed sales of Windows 10 is Intel. Certainly, the wines of the global chip maker are indirect.
As a result of Windows sales, there was a shortage of Intel processors, which Intel is expected to finish by the end of the year.
"Worldwide PC shipments were lower than expected, mainly due to the delay in delivering chips to our OEM partners, which hurt the PC's healthy ecosystem and hurt the number of PCs. And licensing the Pro and non-Pro OEM segments, "said Amy Hood.
Declining Windows 10 OEM sales results in lower Microsoft Office license sales revenue in the consumer segment. Although the More Personal Computing division managed to increase its revenue by 7% (to 13 billion dollars) during the last quarter, its main advantage lies in the range of Surface devices, whose turnover grew by 39% (to $ 1.86 billion).
