There’s More to Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Than Windows 8

International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM) is cheaper than Microsoft on a trailing P/E basis, largely due its stock price decline after missing analyst estimates in the recently announced Q1, combined with Microsoft’s stellar run since its own earnings release on April 18. But what separates Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) from IBM and others, is its success in growing multiple business lines simultaneously, including ITOM revenue, even as its competitors remain stagnant or decline. The market loves talking about Windows 8 and mobile computing, and that’s fine, but Microsoft is proving it has a lot more to offer investors.
