In any case, Microsoft sees the success of Windows 7 and its other ventures as irrevocably tied to the larger PC market.
“Windows division revenue will be in line with overall PC growth,” Liddell said during the company’s Oct. 23 earnings call, before suggesting that “our strategies will position us to take advantage of the economic recovery.”
