If you only remember three numbers from this quarter, make it these.
Azure and other cloud services revenue grew 40%, Intelligent Cloud rose 30% to $34.7B, and Microsoft Cloud overall reached $54.5B — two-thirds of all revenue.
Microsoft spent $30.9B on property and equipment in one quarter — nearly double a year ago — yet still generated $46.7B of operating cash flow and $15.8B of free cash flow.
Commercial remaining performance obligation — work customers have signed for but not yet paid — jumped 99% to $627B, a backlog that underwrites future cloud revenue.
Things that make this quarter look different from a normal one — so you don't mistake them for the trend.
