Welcome to Investor Central

Chris Liddel, our CFO

Welcome to Investor Central, your source for insight into the investor information of Microsoft.

Investor Central is intended to help investors from large institutions to retail shareholders better understand Microsoft's business strategies and our financial results.

It takes advantage of new technologies (like XBRL). As you navigate around the site, you'll see that you can click on many of the line items in the financial statements for additional information, and you can move back and forth easily between views.

Over the past year, I have had the honor of participating on the SEC Advisory Committee on Improvements to Financial Reporting, which has the task of identifying ways to improve the transparency of corporate financial reporting. This site is, I believe, consistent with the objectives of that committee.

The site is a work in progress. We are by no means finished with our efforts to bring increased transparency to financial reporting, and we hope to continue adding new interactive capabilities to the site. We welcome your feedback and input (to: msft@microsoft.com).
