Microsoft’s line of Surface tablets has actually birthed some impressive devices, but even these tend to get beaten out by similar products from Apple or Samsung. Even so, the Surface division still manages to pull in more than a billion dollars every quarter, a number that continues to grow, so it’s not exactly fair to call it a failure.

It is earnings report time again, and the report card from Microsoft does not read too shabbily. In fact, it seems that the Surface family of devices is now a billion dollar business for the company – officially speaking, of course. How does Microsoft classify its billion dollar organizations? Why, through a business channel which is capable of generating a whopping one billion dollars or more each quarter. The Surface Pro 3 has definitely enjoyed brisk sales for sure, while the new team device that is set to be announced is known as the Surface Hub. Not only that, with the Broadwell chipset about to roll out, the future is bright to say the least.
