Microsoft has several products that are generating good revenue for their business. Mary Jo Foley recently published this article<\/a> that has more details. Most of the heavy hitters are big names but SharePoint definitely stands out.<\/p>\n

There are over dozens products in this select group that generate over a $1 billion a year in sales for Microsoft, including the following products listed in alphabetical order.<\/p>\n

    <\/ol>\n

    1.\u00a0 Azure
    \n2.\u00a0 Developer Tools
    \n3.\u00a0 Dynamics (ERP & CRM)
    \n4.\u00a0 Office
    \n5.\u00a0 Online display and search advertising.
    \n6.\u00a0 SharePoint (crossed the $2 billion mark in 2012)<\/strong>
    \n7.\u00a0 SQL Server
    \n8.\u00a0 System Center
    \n9.\u00a0 Unified Communications
    \n10. Windows
    \n11. Xbox<\/p>\n

    SharePoint is supposedly the only product that have crossed the $2 billion mark. If I am not mistaken, SharePoint was also the first product to cross the $1 billion in sales. You can bet all the tea in China that Office365 will be added to this list shortly.<\/p>\n
