Microsoft Business Solutions Getting Closer to Profitability

Via Microsoft Monitor:

Microsoft Business Solutions revenue was $181 million, compared to $156 million a year earlier. The operating loss decreased from $31 million to $12 million, year over year. Sequentially, revenue was $247 million, with an operating loss of $76 million. During the quarter, the division released Office Small Business Accounting and announced the new Dynamics brand. Microsoft's second-quarter MBS revenue projection is for growth of 11 percent to 13 percent.

Looks like MBS is getting closer to profitability. Certainly it was a nice decrease in the loss quarter over quarter.
