Microsoft FY15 Q3: Surface Pro 3 helps bring in over $700 million in revenue for Microsoft

Microsoft has just released its earnings report for its third quarter fiscal year, and has revealed how well the company did in the quarter. When it comes to the performance of Microsoft’s Surface line to tablet computers, the report confirms what we really already knew.

Microsoft has reported that Surface generated revenue of $713 million, which is up 44% from the previous quarter. This is mainly driven by the success of the Surface Pro 3.  Microsoft also expects the Surface 3, which expands the Surface portfolio into new price points to bring in additional revenue once launched.
