The early signs are evident in how are customers are using our products, which I will share throughout my remarks today.

With that in mind, I will walk you through the quarter, starting with our Cloud business.

At the core of our results, this quarter is incredible growth across a growing portfolio of Cloud services.

在第三季度,我們宣布與 T-Mobile 建立新的合作夥伴關係,以將 Office 365 帶給更多客戶,並加強我們與 Go Daddy 的合作夥伴關係。
At Build next week, I will talk even more about Office as a platform and how developers can connect into the Office framework to both harness the rich data, and have their own application extensions available to ultimately a billion-plus Office users.
在下週的 Build 大會上,我將更多地討論 Office 作為一個平台,以及開發人員如何連接到 Office 框架以利用豐富的數據,並為最終超過十億的 Office 用戶提供自己的應用程序擴展。

Dynamic CRM 在線企業付費席位同比增長一倍多,本季度我們為 ERP 銷售的企業席位增加了一倍多。
We also announced a wave of innovation in Microsoft Dynamics CRM this quarter with new social, mobile, and analytics capabilities for business process transformation, including seamless integration of Dynamic CRM with Office 365.
我們還在本季度宣布了 Microsoft Dynamics CRM 的一波創新浪潮,其中包含用於業務流程轉型的新社交、移動和分析功能,包括 Dynamic CRM 與 Office 365 的無縫集成。
While our commercial cloud business is expanding dramatically, we are also seeing strong growth in our consumer cloud services.
雖然我們的商業雲業務正在急劇擴張,但我們的消費者云服務也出現了強勁增長。

We are clearly taking Office everywhere.
顯然,我們到處都在上任。
Core to our Office -- core to our mobile-first strategy is to ensure that our service endpoints are on every mobile device, and to that end, we have seen continued momentum with more than 100 million downloads of Office on iPhones, iPads, and Android tablets.
Office 的核心——我們的移動優先戰略的核心是確保我們的服務端點位於每台移動設備上,為此,我們看到了持續的勢頭,iPhone、iPad 和安卓平板電腦。

隨著本季度在 iOS 和 Android 上發布 Outlook、我們對 OneDrive 應用程序的投標以及即將推出的 Office for Mac 的預覽,我們正在讓更多用戶在更多設備上使用 Office。
Bing achieved a significant milestone this quarter, when US search share topped 20% and search advertising revenue grew 21%.
必應在本季度實現了一個重要的里程碑,當時美國搜索份額超過 20%,搜索廣告收入增長 21%。
Search is key to productivity and work and life, and it is a huge opportunity for Microsoft as we continue to innovate with Bing across our application and platforms.
搜索是生產力、工作和生活的關鍵,這對 Microsoft 來說是一個巨大的機會,因為我們將繼續在我們的應用程序和平台上使用 Bing 進行創新。
On top of that, I'm pleased with our renewed partnership with Yahoo and our combined ability to compete more effectively in the search marketplace.
最重要的是,我對我們與雅虎重新建立合作夥伴關係以及我們在搜索市場更有效地競爭的綜合能力感到高興。
Our investments and innovation and user experience in Xbox LIVE are paying off.
我們在 Xbox LIVE 上的投資、創新和用戶體驗正在獲得回報。
Xbox LIVE users grew 18% year-over-year, helping drive increased Xbox LIVE usage growth by 30%.

When I step back and look at Office 365, Bing search, and Xbox LIVE collectively, I see real usage growth and monetization of our consumer services all up.
當我回顧一下 Office 365、必應搜索和 Xbox LIVE 時,我看到了我們消費者服務的真正使用增長和貨幣化。
Now let's talk about Windows.
現在讓我們談談Windows。
To start, our Windows revenue from business customers is stabilizing, post the XP Refresh anniversary, coming back in line to historical levels.
首先,在 XP 刷新周年紀念日之後,我們來自商業客戶的 Windows 收入正在穩定下來,回到歷史水平。
We're also transforming the consumer Windows business to adapt to the changing market dynamics, including lower price point devices.
我們還在改造消費者 Windows 業務,以適應不斷變化的市場動態,包括價格更低的設備。
This quarter, while non-pro revenue declined, activations were up.
本季度,雖然非專業收入下降,但激活量有所增加。
Importantly, we are now at a place where we can start to see early signs of how usage increases in services like search and gaming can drive new monetization opportunities over the lifetime of a Windows consumer device.
重要的是,我們現在可以開始看到早期跡象,即搜索和遊戲等服務的使用增加如何在 Windows 消費設備的生命週期內推動新的貨幣化機會。
Windows is a tremendous asset for Microsoft, with more than 1.5 billion users.
Windows 對微軟來說是一筆巨大的財富,擁有超過 15 億用戶。
This means every day hundreds of millions of people are using Windows and Windows applications.
這意味著每天有數億人在使用 Windows 和 Windows 應用程序。
In fact, more than 16 million unique apps are used on a monthly basis from PCs running Windows 7 and later.
事實上,運行 Windows 7 及更高版本的 PC 每月使用超過 1600 萬個獨特的應用程序。
We're focused on making Windows 10 the most loved version of Windows ever, perhaps most importantly, last quarter I talked about how Windows 10 will be a service across an array of devices and will usher in a new era of more personal computing.
我們專注於讓 Windows 10 成為有史以來最受歡迎的 Windows 版本,也許最重要的是,上個季度我談到了 Windows 10 將如何成為跨一系列設備的服務,並將開啟一個更加個性化的計算新時代。
An era where the mobility of the experience, not the device, is paramount.
在這個時代,體驗而不是設備的移動性是最重要的。
We look forward to sharing a lot more about Windows 10 at Build next week.
我們期待在下週的 Build 大會上分享更多關於 Windows 10 的信息。
In our device portfolio, service adoption continues across enterprise and consumer customers, with 44% revenue growth year-over-year.
在我們的設備組合中,企業和消費者客戶繼續採用服務,收入同比增長 44%。
And 64% of Surface Pro 3 users use OneNote, nine times that of any other touch laptop.
64% 的 Surface Pro 3 用戶使用 OneNote,是任何其他觸控筆記本電腦的 9 倍。
This shows how great hardware innovation influences customer experience and usage.
這顯示了偉大的硬件創新如何影響客戶體驗和使用。
We are looking forward to Surface 3 availability next month, a device that has received positive reviews for being a superior, versatile device at a lower price point.
我們期待著 Surface 3 下個月的面市,這款設備以更低的價格獲得了積極的評價,是一款出色的多功能設備。
We continue to demonstrate momentum in the value smartphone segment of the phone market, driving 18% growth in Lumia volumes this quarter.
我們繼續在手機市場的價值智能手機細分市場展示勢頭,推動本季度 Lumia 銷量增長 18%。
However, we need to take further action to reduce our costs across devices as we execute on our Windows 10 first party hardware plans.
但是,在我們執行 Windows 10 第一方硬件計劃時,我們需要採取進一步行動來降低跨設備的成本。
I'm excited that next week I'll be able to talk much more extensively about our ambitions and the opportunity ahead to two important audiences -- developers at Build and our investor community at the financial analyst briefing in San Francisco.
我很高興下週我將能夠在舊金山的金融分析師簡報會上更廣泛地談論我們的雄心和未來的機會,這兩個重要的聽眾是 Build 的開發人員和我們的投資者社區。
Before I turn it over to Amy, I want to close by reflecting on Microsoft's transformation to a Company that will thrive and help our customers thrive in a mobile-first, cloud-first world.
在我把它交給 Amy 之前,我想先回顧一下微軟向一家公司的轉型,這家公司將在移動優先、雲優先的世界中茁壯成長並幫助我們的客戶茁壯成長。
This is a new world with new growth.
這是一個新的世界,有新的成長。
It's a world that requires fundamental transformation in products, business models, and delivery models across Microsoft.
這是一個需要對整個 Microsoft 的產品、業務模式和交付模式進行根本轉變的世界。
In 2008, we started our transformation by taking an iconic franchise, Office, to the cloud.
2008 年,我們開始轉型,將標誌性的特許經營權 Office 遷移到雲端。
We took the next big step forwards five years ago when we launched Azure, and another step forward with the recent announcement of Windows 10 as a service.
五年前,當我們推出 Azure 時,我們又向前邁出了一大步,而最近宣布的 Windows 10 即服務又向前邁進了一步。
Microsoft's overall transformation isn't about one-for-one shift.
微軟的整體轉型不是一對一的轉變。
It is about delivering value to more customers and unlocking new growth opportunities.
它是關於為更多客戶提供價值並釋放新的增長機會。
To do this, we will continue to push forward with big ambitions and persistence, while delivering solid performance.
為此,我們將繼續以遠大的抱負和堅持不懈地向前推進,同時提供堅實的業績。
With that, I'll hand it over to Amy to talk about this quarter's results in greater detail, and I look forward to rejoining you after to answer questions.
有了這個,我將把它交給 Amy 來更詳細地討論本季度的結果,我期待著在回答問題後重新加入你的行列。
Thank you.
謝謝你。
Amy Hood - CFO
Amy Hood - CFO
Thanks Satya, and good afternoon, everyone.
謝謝 Satya,大家下午好。
We're pleased with our execution in the third quarter.
我們對第三季度的執行感到滿意。
In our commercial business, we continue to see healthy underlying fundamentals with strong renewal of volume licensed annuity contracts, a mix shift to cloud offerings, and solid bookings.
在我們的商業業務中,我們繼續看到健康的基本面,包括大量許可年金合同的強勁更新、向雲產品的混合轉變以及穩定的預訂。
Importantly, you can see the progress we are making in the execution of our cloud strategy as the percentage of our revenue from annuity contracts and our commercial business continues to rise.
重要的是,您可以看到我們在執行我們的雲戰略方面取得的進展,因為我們來自年金合同的收入和我們的商業業務的百分比繼續上升。
As Satya highlighted, we also saw momentum in strategic businesses we've been investing in, such as Bing, Xbox LIVE, and Surface, which have a key role in our plans to further monetize Windows devices.
正如 Satya 所強調的那樣,我們還看到了我們一直在投資的戰略業務的勢頭,例如 Bing、Xbox LIVE 和 Surface,它們在我們進一步將 Windows 設備貨幣化的計劃中發揮了關鍵作用。
Like most multinational companies, the strengthening of the US dollar has had a significant impact in our reported results.
與大多數跨國公司一樣,美元走強對我們報告的業績產生了重大影響。
Accordingly, when applicable, I will give growth rates in both GAAP and constant currency to help you better understand the underlying business demand.
因此,在適用的情況下,我將以 GAAP 和固定貨幣給出增長率,以幫助您更好地了解潛在的業務需求。
Revenue was $21.7 billion, up 6%, and 9% in constant currency.
收入為 217 億美元,增長 6%,按固定匯率計算增長 9%。
Gross margin grew 1%, and 4% in constant currency.
毛利率增長 1%,按固定匯率計算增長 4%。
We improved gross margin percentage year-over-year in each of our segments again this quarter, reflecting our ongoing focus on operational excellence.
本季度我們再次提高了每個部門的毛利率百分比,反映了我們對卓越運營的持續關注。
Operating income declined 5%, adjusting for both integration and restructuring expense of $190 million, as well as the negative $87 million impact from FX, operating income declined 1%.
營業收入下降了 5%,調整了 1.9 億美元的整合和重組費用,以及外匯帶來的 8700 萬美元的負面影響,營業收入下降了 1%。
Earnings per share was $0.61, which includes a $0.02 negative impact from FX, and $0.01 of integration and restructuring expense.
每股收益為 0.61 美元,其中包括 0.02 美元的外匯負面影響,以及 0.01 美元的整合和重組費用。
As a reminder, FX movements first impact our bookings growth and unearned revenue on the balance sheet.
提醒一下,外匯變動首先會影響我們的預訂增長和資產負債表上的未實現收入。
Each quarter, our contracted, not billed balance is adjusted to reflect current FX rates.
每個季度,我們的合同未結算餘額都會進行調整,以反映當前的外匯匯率。
When FX rates move rapidly, as they have in the last six months, bookings growth can be significantly impacted.
當外匯匯率像過去六個月那樣快速波動時,預訂量增長可能會受到顯著影響。
This was the case again this quarter, as bookings grew 2%.
本季度再次出現這種情況,預訂量增長了 2%。
However, when measured on a constant currency basis, bookings grew 9%.
然而,如果以固定貨幣計算,預訂量增長了 9%。
Unearned revenue was up 4% year-over-year to $20.2 billion, and 7% in constant currency.
未實現收入同比增長 4% 至 202 億美元,按固定匯率計算增長 7%。
Total unearned revenue was slightly below expectations, driven primarily by a stronger than expected mix of sales that were recognized in the current period.
未實現收入總額略低於預期,主要是由於本期確認的銷售組合強於預期。
From a geographic perspective, the US outperformed our expectations.
從地理角度來看,美國的表現超出了我們的預期。
This relative strength in the US resulted in roughly 1 point less of constant currency impact than we expected in our commercial business.
美國的這種相對強勢導致我們對商業業務的恆定貨幣影響比我們預期的低大約 1 個百分點。
China, Russia, and Japan were generally in line with our expectations.
中國、俄羅斯和日本總體上符合我們的預期。
I want to touch briefly on what we are seeing in Japan, given that it is our second largest market from a revenue perspective.
我想簡要談談我們在日本看到的情況,因為從收入的角度來看,它是我們的第二大市場。
Revenue was down $550 million, which is nearly 4 points of growth for the whole Company.
收入減少了 5.5 億美元,這對整個公司來說是近 4 個增長點。
With high office attached PCs, revenue is particularly sensitive to the underlying PC market dynamics.
對於高附加值的辦公室 PC,收入對潛在的 PC 市場動態特別敏感。
Q3 was the toughest comparable, due to both XP end of support and the VAT increase which went into effect last April 1. The impact is most evident in our DNC and commercial licensing segments.
由於 XP 支持終止和去年 4 月 1 日生效的增值稅增加,第三季度是最艱難的可比性。影響在我們的 DNC 和商業許可領域最為明顯。
The macroeconomic climate remains challenging as well in Japan.
日本的宏觀經濟環境仍然充滿挑戰。
We don't expect it to change in the short term.
我們預計它不會在短期內發生變化。
With that backdrop, I will now move to a detailed discussion of our results.
在這種背景下,我現在將詳細討論我們的結果。
Starting with Windows.
從 Windows 開始。
Q3 last year was the peak of the XP Refresh cycle, evidenced by Windows Pro revenue growth of 19%.
去年第三季度是 XP 刷新周期的高峰,Windows Pro 收入增長 19% 就是明證。
This growth significantly outpaced the underlying PC market, driven by higher attach at Pro, particularly with large enterprise customers in developed markets.
這一增長顯著超過了基礎 PC 市場,這是由 Pro 的更高附加值推動的,尤其是在發達市場的大型企業客戶中。
This quarter, Pro revenue declined by 19%.
本季度,Pro 收入下降了 19%。
It is essentially flat to the Q3 FY13 levels, as both business PCs and Pro mix in that segment returned to pre-XP Refresh levels.
它與 2013 財年第三季度的水平基本持平,因為該領域的商用 PC 和 Pro 組合都恢復到 XP 刷新之前的水平。
For Windows non-Pro, as we talked about last quarter, inventory in the channel was higher than normal.
對於 Windows 非專業版,正如我們上個季度所談到的,渠道中的庫存高於正常水平。
This quarter, activations grew, and we exited Q3 with channel inventories at more normal levels.
本季度,激活量增加了,我們退出了第三季度,渠道庫存處於更正常的水平。
The channel inventory reduction was the main driver of our Windows non-Pro revenue decline.
渠道庫存減少是我們 Windows 非專業版收入下降的主要驅動力。
We continued to see a mixed shift of opening price point PCs, which impacted license mix and aggregate ASP.
我們繼續看到 PC 開盤價的混合變化,這影響了許可組合和總平均售價。
However, it was significantly less than the impact in Q2 when holiday sales favored a lower price point PC's.
然而,這明顯小於第二季度假日銷售青睞低價位 PC 的影響。
Office consumer revenue and DNC licensing was down 41% this quarter, due primarily to the shift of purchasing toward Office 365 consumer, where we now have 12.4 million subscribers.
本季度 Office 消費者收入和 DNC 許可下降了 41%,這主要是由於購買轉向 Office 365 消費者,我們現在擁有 1240 萬訂閱者。
This transition to Office 365 accounted for 27 points of that decline, and the impact of Japan's PC market, the remaining 14 points.

With that overview of the current quarter let me now turn the to the outlook for the fourth quarter.
有了當前季度的概述,現在讓我轉向第四季度的展望。
I'll start with a few overall comments for additional context.
我將從一些總體評論開始,以獲取更多背景信息。
The guidance that we are providing is based on current FX rates.
我們提供的指導基於當前的外匯匯率。
Should actual rates differ, they will be reflected in the financial results.
如果實際利率不同,它們將反映在財務結果中。
As a reminder, in our annuity businesses the FX impact is first reflected in our unearned revenue, as it is based on rates when the contract is billed.
提醒一下,在我們的年金業務中,外匯影響首先反映在我們的未實現收入中,因為它基於合同計費時的費率。
Then into the P&L at the same rate as the revenue is recognized generally over the next year.
然後以與下一年一般確認的收入相同的比率計入損益表。
In Q4, unearned revenue will reflect three quarters of billing with the stronger US dollar, which will negatively impact year-over-year comparables.
在第四季度,未實現收入將反映在美元走強的三個季度中,這將對同比可比數據產生負面影響。
Likewise, we will be recognizing a higher percentage of revenue from periods with a stronger US dollar in both the recently completed Q3 and also the prior-year comparison.
同樣,我們將在最近完成的第三季度和去年的比較中確認更高百分比的收入來自美元走強的時期。
In total, we expect FX will impact revenue growth by approximately four points in Q4 with the majority of that impact in our commercial segments.
總的來說,我們預計外匯將在第四季度影響收入增長約 4 個百分點,其中大部分影響在我們的商業領域。
While XP related comparables remain top of for Q4 we're starting to anniversary the XP benefits from last year.
雖然與 XP 相關的可比產品在第四季度仍處於領先地位,但我們開始紀念 XP 與去年相比的優勢。
Finally, from a geographic perspective, we expect the year-over-year declines in Japan to continue.
最後,從地理角度來看,我們預計日本的同比下降將繼續。
With that additional context, I will now move to more specific items, starting with devices and consumer.
有了這個額外的背景,我現在將轉向更具體的項目,從設備和消費者開始。
In licensing in Q4 last year, we recognized $382 million of revenue related to the end of the commercial agreement with Nokia, which will impact year-over-year growth trends.
在去年第四季度的許可中,我們確認了與終止與諾基亞的商業協議相關的 3.82 億美元收入,這將影響同比增長趨勢。
For this Q4, we expect revenue to be $3.2 billion to $3.4 billion.
對於這個第四季度,我們預計收入將在 32 億美元至 34 億美元之間。
This range reflects the anniversary of XP, the impact of the Japanese economy, and is anticipated drawdown of inventories in the PC ecosystem ahead of the release of Windows 10 this summer.
這一範圍反映了 XP 週年紀念日、日本經濟的影響,以及預計在今年夏天發布 Windows 10 之前 PC 生態系統中的庫存下降。
Within consumer Office, we expect similar trends to Q3, including the continued transition to Office 365 subscriptions.
在消費者 Office 中,我們預計與第三季度類似的趨勢,包括繼續過渡到 Office 365 訂閱。
In computing and gaming hardware, with the addition of Surface 3, we expect revenues to be $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion.
在計算和遊戲硬件方面,隨著 Surface 3 的加入,我們預計收入將達到 15 億至 16 億美元。
In the phone hardware we expect revenue to the $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion, with continued momentum in value smartphones and anticipated decline in non-Lumia phones.
在手機硬件方面,我們預計收入將達到 13 億至 14 億美元,智能手機的價值將持續增長,非 Lumia 手機的預期下降。
Gross margins will reflect similar dynamics to Q3.
毛利率將反映與第三季度類似的動態。
In devices and consumer other, we expect revenue to be $2.1 billion to $2.2 billion with continued growth in Bing, Office 365, and Xbox LIVE transactions.
在設備和消費者其他方面,隨著必應、Office 365 和 Xbox LIVE 交易的持續增長,我們預計收入將達到 21 億至 22 億美元。
In commercial licensing, we expect revenue of $10.5 billion to $10.6 billion, with a continuing shift to annuity.
在商業許可方面,我們預計收入為 105 億至 106 億美元,並繼續轉向年金。
This range reflects roughly 4 points of negative impact from FX, in addition to the factors I discussed earlier.
除了我之前討論的因素外,該範圍還反映了外匯帶來的大約 4 個負面影響。
In commercial other, we expect momentum to continue in our commercial cloud with revenue of $3.0 billion to $3.1 billion.
在商業其他方面,我們預計我們的商業雲將繼續保持增長勢頭,收入將達到 30 億美元至 31 億美元。
In corporate, we don't expect any revenue impact.
在企業方面,我們預計不會對收入產生任何影響。
We expect COGS to be $7.2 billion to $7.4 billion, with variability being driven by both hardware segments.
我們預計 COGS 為 72 億至 74 億美元,可變性由兩個硬件部分驅動。
We expect operating expenses to be $8.4 billion to $8.5 billion, and this range implies that our full year operating expenses will be roughly $2 billion below our initial guidance for the year, while still investing in key growth opportunities across R&D and sales.
我們預計運營費用為 84 億美元至 85 億美元,這一範圍意味著我們全年的運營費用將比我們今年的初始指導低約 20 億美元,同時仍投資於研發和銷售方面的關鍵增長機會。
We have benefited from FX, but the biggest driver has been our ongoing cost discipline and prioritization effort.
我們從外匯中受益,但最大的推動力是我們持續的成本紀律和優先級工作。
In Q4, we expect to incur $100 million integration expenses, and separately another $100 million in restructuring expenses.
在第四季度,我們預計將產生 1 億美元的整合費用,另外還有 1 億美元的重組費用。
As a reminder, other income and expense includes dividends and interest income offset by interest expense and the net cost of hedging.
提醒一下,其他收入和支出包括被利息支出和對沖淨成本抵消的股息和利息收入。
Given the current FX environment, we expect our net cost of hedging to increase and other income and expense to be negative $200 million.
鑑於當前的外匯環境,我們預計我們的淨對沖成本將增加,其他收入和支出為負 2 億美元。
We expect our Q4 tax rate to be 22% to 24%.
我們預計第四季度的稅率為 22% 至 24%。
In Q4, we expect cutbacks to sequentially increase in support of our growing cloud business.
在第四季度,我們預計裁員將依次增加,以支持我們不斷增長的雲業務。
We expect unearned revenue will grow sequentially, in line with historical seasonality excluding the foreign currency impact.
我們預計未實現收入將連續增長,符合歷史季節性(不包括外匯影響)。
In closing, as you heard from Satya, we are making progress in our strategic goals and we are seeing our focused investments land in differentiated products, customer usage, and sales results.
最後,正如您從 Satya 那裡聽到的那樣,我們在戰略目標方面取得了進展,我們看到我們的重點投資落在了差異化產品、客戶使用和銷售成果上。
Customers are seeing and embracing our innovation, leading to increased usage of our cloud services, and a transition toward subscription and multiyear purchasing.
客戶正在看到並接受我們的創新,從而提高了我們雲服務的使用率,以及向訂閱和多年購買的過渡。
We continue to invest aggressively to capture opportunities where we see competitive advantages, while also becoming or efficient to accelerate our pace of innovation.
我們繼續積極投資,以抓住我們認為具有競爭優勢的機會,同時提高或有效地加快我們的創新步伐。
We encourage you next week to watch the webcast of keynotes from our Build Developer Conference.
我們鼓勵您在下週觀看我們的構建開發者大會主題演講的網絡直播。
We will share more of the innovation happening with Windows 10 and our cloud services.
我們將分享更多與 Windows 10 和我們的雲服務相關的創新。
We will also host the financial analyst briefing where Satya, Kevin Turner, and I will discuss how the Company's transformation provides unique growth opportunities that drive increased lifetime customer value across our core businesses.
我們還將主持金融分析師簡報會,薩蒂亞、凱文·特納和我將討論公司的轉型如何提供獨特的增長機會,從而推動我們核心業務的終生客戶價值增加。

Brent Thill - Analyst
Brent Thill - Analyst
You had great momentum in the cloud.
你在雲端有很大的發展勢頭。
I'm curious if you could talk about the positioning both in on-prem and [COD] environments and also weave in what you're seeing with Azure.
我很好奇您是否可以談論在本地和 [COD] 環境中的定位,以及您在 Azure 中看到的內容。
Satya Nadella - CEO
Satya Nadella - CEO
Sure.
當然。
Thanks for the question.
謝謝你的問題。
Overall when I think about the Microsoft cloud, it's really the combination of Office 365, Dynamics, as well as Azure.
總的來說,當我想到 Microsoft 雲時,它實際上是 Office 365、Dynamics 以及 Azure 的組合。
We think about our capital allocation that way, we think about utilization, and product architecture, and customer value, and how uniquely we can bring these three assets together to serve our customers well.
我們以這種方式考慮我們的資本分配,我們考慮利用率、產品架構和客戶價值,以及我們如何獨特地將這三種資產結合在一起以更好地為客戶服務。
That's the momentum you see, and I talked about the run rate, the usage metrics and there is really increasing intensity of usage amongst organizational customers in our commercial cloud.
這就是你看到的勢頭,我談到了運行率、使用指標,以及我們商業雲中組織客戶的使用強度確實在增加。
One of the other things that's also a huge benefit for us is because our public cloud runs on our software asset, our software asset gets packaged up as service.
對我們來說也是一個巨大好處的另一件事是因為我們的公共雲在我們的軟件資產上運行,我們的軟件資產被打包為服務。
In fact, I think about servers as the edge of our cloud.
事實上,我認為服務器是我們雲的邊緣。
So the unique capability we now have in Windows servers, SQL Server, is becoming that much more competitive because we are running a public cloud in it and that is what anyone deploying their own private cloud expects to have.
因此,我們現在在 Windows 服務器中擁有的獨特功能 SQL Server 正變得更具競爭力,因為我們在其中運行公共雲,而這正是任何部署自己的私有云的人所期望的。
So, you see there are two sides, or benefits and two sides for us.
所以,你看我們有兩個方面,或者好處和兩個方面。
One is in our cloud momentum, which itself is a combination of SaaS applications, PaaS, and IaaS, which I believe is unique in the marketplace, as well as the software itself that is packaged up into our private cloud offering, be it Windows Server or SQL Server, and they are becoming increasingly competitive in the enterprise and data center additions.
一個是我們的雲動力,它本身是 SaaS 應用程序、PaaS 和 IaaS 的組合,我相信這在市場上是獨一無二的,以及打包到我們私有云產品中的軟件本身,無論是 Windows Server或 SQL Server,它們在企業和數據中心的添加中變得越來越有競爭力。
So that's what you see in our commercial results, both on the licensing side as well as on the cloud side.
這就是您在我們的商業成果中看到的,無論是在許可方面還是在雲方面。
Thanks.

Philip Winslow - Analyst
Congratulations on a great quarter.
祝賀一個偉大的季度。
I wanted to focus on Office 365.
我想專注於 Office 365。
Several of those metrics really jumped out to us.
其中一些指標確實讓我們眼前一亮。
It seems like overall revenue between your commercial and BMT for Office 365 is up over 100%.
Office 365 的商業和 BMT 之間的總收入似乎增長了 100% 以上。
If you look at the consumer and user count, it was up pretty huge just quarter to quarter there.
如果你看一下消費者和用戶數量,那裡的季度增長幅度相當大。
The question is both Satya and Amy.
問題是薩蒂亞和艾米。
Satya, when you think about the positioning and where we are in the adoption lifecycle of Office 365 on the consumer side, and the SMB and enterprise, where are we in terms of the inflection point there?
Satya,當您考慮到 Office 365 在消費者端以及 SMB 和企業的採用生命週期中的定位和位置時,就拐點而言,我們在哪裡?
Amy, how should we think about going forward in terms of the guidance that you gave, how we should think about the financial implications of where we are in that transition from on premise to Office 365?
艾米,根據您提供的指導,我們應該如何考慮前進,我們應該如何考慮從內部部署到 Office 365 過渡的財務影響?
Satya Nadella - CEO
Satya Nadella - CEO
Let me start.
讓我開始吧。
Amy, you can take it from there.
艾米,你可以從那裡拿走。
Overall, I would say there's a secular movement that's happening in particular with Office 365 and quite frankly it's happening across the entire product portfolio of Microsoft, which is more to what I would describe as annuity relationship as well as subscription relationships, because those are the long-term contracts of relationships we want to have with all customers be it consumer, be it small business, or large customers.
總的來說,我想說的是,Office 365 正在發生一場長期的運動,坦率地說,它正在發生在微軟的整個產品組合中,這更像是我所說的年金關係和訂閱關係,因為這些是我們希望與所有客戶建立長期關係合同,無論是消費者、小企業還是大客戶。
In all the years I've been at Microsoft, it was always our dream to be able to sell more of the sophisticated capabilities of Office to individual consumers as well as small businesses.
在我在微軟工作的這些年裡,我們一直夢想能夠向個人消費者和小型企業銷售更多複雜的 Office 功能。
It was hard to do in the previous generation because of the server infrastructure and sophistication of IT required.
由於服務器基礎架構和 IT 的複雜性,上一代很難做到這一點。
Whereas now with the cloud, for the first time, we now can serve both individuals as well as small businesses with the same kind of sophistication that in the past was exclusively available for the large enterprises.
而現在有了雲,我們現在可以第一次為個人和小型企業提供服務,其複雜程度與過去僅適用於大型企業相同。
So that's what you see when we see a subscription growth in consumer, we see subscription growth in small business.
這就是當我們看到消費者訂閱增長時你看到的,我們看到小企業訂閱增長。
These are folks who never bought a server from us.
這些人從未向我們購買過服務器。
So, that's what we are seeing is increasing what I would call annuity relationship and subscription relationship with all classes of customers and it's a new penetration.
因此,這就是我們所看到的正在增加我所說的與所有類別客戶的年金關係和訂閱關係,這是一種新的滲透。
It's not even a one-for-one replacement.
它甚至不是一對一的替代品。
Even for the enterprise customer, their consumption is going up.
即使對於企業客戶來說,他們的消費也在上升。
They may have consumed one or two workloads, but now they have the opportunity to consume the entirety of the portfolio and not just that.
他們可能已經消耗了一兩個工作負載,但現在他們有機會消耗整個投資組合,而不僅僅是這些。
If you look at the products in Office 365 that we have, take eDiscovery, it's a complete new space for us where we are able to do things in security, eDiscovery, and enterprise management that we didn't even do for the top end of the enterprise in the server side.
如果您查看我們擁有的 Office 365 中的產品,請以 eDiscovery 為例,它對我們來說是一個全新的空間,我們能夠在安全、電子發現和企業管理方面做一些我們甚至沒有為高端產品做的事情服務器端的企業。
That's what we are seeing.
這就是我們所看到的。
Amy Hood - CFO
Amy Hood - CFO
Phil, on the math that sits behind that, it's good timing.
菲爾,就其背後的數學而言,現在是個好時機。
Next week at the financial analyst briefing, I will have a lot more time to explain the actual lifetime value of each of these customer segments, especially in Office 365.
在下週的財務分析師簡報會上,我將有更多時間來解釋每個客戶群的實際生命週期價值,尤其是在 Office 365 中。
But I think in consumer, it may be the easiest want to talk about.
但我認為在消費者中,這可能是最容易談論的。
We talked about license growth of 10% when you correct for Japan.
當您糾正日本時,我們談到了 10% 的許可證增長。
Our ability to quickly, I think, move our customer base through stronger execution, both direct, through retail, and having our channel execute well and partner with us on this transition, I do think we've made a lot of progress.
我認為,我們有能力通過更強大的執行力(直接通過零售)快速轉移我們的客戶群,並讓我們的渠道執行良好並與我們合作完成這一過渡,我確實認為我們已經取得了很大進展。
Maybe more importantly, we continue to innovate in the product and deliver value to the end-user which is really what matters.
也許更重要的是,我們繼續在產品上進行創新並為最終用戶提供價值,這才是真正重要的。
So, I think we'll be able to show the progress we've made over every quarter and give you some goals going forward.
所以,我認為我們將能夠展示我們在每個季度取得的進展,並為您提供一些前進的目標。
I look forward to having the chance to spend more time on that in detail.
我期待有機會在這方面花更多的時間來詳細說明。
SMB looks very similar in some ways.
SMB 在某些方面看起來非常相似。
They purchase similarly; it was bought with a PC, it was bought one time, it was infrequent with an inability, as Satya said, to add workloads.
他們的購買方式類似;它是與 PC 一起購買的,是一次性購買的,正如 Satya 所說,它很少會因為無法添加工作負載而出現。
Those are some of the bigger transitions you've seen for us in terms of being able to increase the value.
在能夠增加價值方面,這些是您為我們看到的一些更大的轉變。
So, hopefully we'll be able to give you more details on that next week.
因此,希望我們能夠在下週為您提供更多詳細信息。

Very nice quarter.
非常好的季度。
One of the highlights of the past year has definitely been the expense control, and I guess, a normalized OpEx growth of just 1% of the quarter, continues to be very impressive.
過去一年的亮點之一無疑是費用控制,我猜,本季度正常化的運營支出僅增長 1%,仍然令人印象深刻。
How should investors, or how should we think about the sustainability of that expense control?
投資者應該如何,或者我們應該如何考慮這種費用控制的可持續性?
How long can you keep investing for these growth initiatives like cloud, yet keep the overall OpEx growth rate so low on a go forward basis?

Let me start and then I will have Amy add.

Overall, the core of how I wanted to approach expenses is to make sure that we are not limited in our ability to invest in categories where we have unique things to contribute.
總的來說,我想如何處理費用的核心是確保我們在投資於我們有獨特貢獻的類別的能力方面不受限制。
So, we're going to do that, though, with great discipline.
所以,儘管如此,我們會以嚴格的紀律來做到這一點。
And that's what I think you've seen us do over the course of the last year and will continue to exhibit that.
這就是我認為您在去年看到我們所做的事情,並將繼續展示這一點。
At the same time, we will not shrink away from our ability to go put investment, be it in sales, marketing, or product R&D when we clearly have unique things in secular categories of growth and that's something that we have the capability of doing.

And I would just add, I generally think about two key items that we've been able to think about across the leadership team.
我只想補充一點,我通常會考慮我們能夠在整個領導團隊中考慮的兩個關鍵項目。
First, I think we've exhibited an increasing ability over the course of the year to reallocate during the year, both at the organization level and at the team level, to make sure our dollars are going to the highest ROI things.
首先,我認為我們在這一年中展示了在組織層面和團隊層面重新分配的能力,以確保我們的資金用於最高投資回報率的事情。
Secondly, I think it's a general belief held at the highest levels of the Company that operating efficiency increases our ability to be responsive, both to the needs of the customers as well as to innovate faster inside this place, and I think when you take those two things along with what Satya said, being able to balance discipline, focus, and execution for us, I think we feel very good about the progress we've made.
其次,我認為公司最高層普遍認為,運營效率提高了我們對客戶需求的響應能力以及在這個地方更快地創新的能力,我認為當你接受這些時除了 Satya 所說的兩件事,能夠為我們平衡紀律、專注和執行,我認為我們對我們取得的進展感覺非常好。

When I think about even just my own day-to-day usage of Office, even in the last year, it's gone through a drastic amount of change.
當我想到我自己對 Office 的日常使用時,即使是在去年,它也經歷了巨大的變化。
Of course, I use Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook on a daily basis, but if I think about all the tools I'm using, which is all a part of Office 365, today on a daily basis and multiple times a day, I start my day, as I've talked about in many conferences, with Delve, which is a tool I love, which is in fact something that is uniquely possible because of the shift to Office 365 where we can take organizational data and break through all the boundaries of [organs] and silos inside an organization and have people discover information.
當然,我每天都在使用 Word、PowerPoint、Excel、Outlook,但如果我考慮一下我正在使用的所有工具,它們都是 Office 365 的一部分,今天每天都在使用,而且每天多次使用,正如我在許多會議上談到的那樣,我開始新的一天,使用我喜歡的工具 Delve,事實上,由於轉向 Office 365,我們可以獲取組織數據並突破組織內部的[器官]和孤島的所有邊界,並讓人們發現信息。
It's the richest way for me to visualize what is happening at Microsoft in real-time.
對我來說,這是實時可視化 Microsoft 正在發生的事情的最豐富的方式。
That newsfeed to me is the lifeblood of Microsoft.
對我來說,新聞源是微軟的命脈。
I use Power BI, one of the things we talked a lot about is usage.
我使用 Power BI,我們經常談論的一件事就是使用。
In fact, one of the cultural changes inside the Company is everyone, from the frontline engineer to the frontline sales person, is responsible for usage and given that, we want to have these leading indicators showing up in our dashboard, not as static report and Power BI is this rich canvas for us to one, visualize data as well as ask natural language questions.
事實上,公司內部的文化變化之一是每個人,從一線工程師到一線銷售人員,都負責使用,鑑於此,我們希望這些領先指標顯示在我們的儀表板中,而不是作為靜態報告和Power BI 為我們提供了一張豐富的畫布,用於可視化數據以及提出自然語言問題。
I look at my own usage of OneNote in Surface, that's gone through a sea change, both because of the hardware innovation, innovation in Windows, innovation in Office.
我看看我自己在 Surface 中對 OneNote 的使用,它經歷了翻天覆地的變化,無論是因為硬件創新、Windows 創新還是 Office 創新。
I look at something like Sway, which I'm pretty excited about because basically we are taking the concept of what is an interactive document and a website, and bringing it all together into the Sway documents, if you will, and we are excited about what that could mean in customer service, marketing, or for school reports.
我看到了 Sway 之類的東西,我對此感到非常興奮,因為基本上我們正在採用交互式文檔和網站的概念,如果您願意的話,將它們整合到 Sway 文檔中,我們很興奮這在客戶服務、營銷或學校報告中可能意味著什麼。
So, we are well into it.
所以,我們很喜歡它。
It's not going to be waiting for some future date to release anything that is new, but we are well on our way with all of these tools, and they're available today and of course we will be iterating continuously.

我對這個空間感到非常興奮,我不想錯過另一個場景,即 Cortana,這可能是最能改變個人生產力的事情,尤其是 Windows 10 以及 Cortana 如何進入 Windows,兩者到瀏覽器以及開始。

Thank you for taking my question.
謝謝你接受我的問題。
If Windows OEM Pro has now stabilized, excluding the bump we saw from XP Refresh, and volume licensing, at least in constant currency, is stable growing, should we figure that we've now started to turn the corner on commercial Windows revenue?
如果 Windows OEM Pro 現在已經穩定下來,不包括我們從 XP Refresh 看到的增長,並且批量許可(至少以不變貨幣計算)穩定增長,我們是否應該認為我們現在已經開始在商業 Windows 收入方面出現轉機?
In addition, where do you think we are on the consumer side on the non-OEM Pro?
此外,您認為我們在非 OEM Pro 的消費者方面處於什麼位置?
Is that still going to continue to shrink for a bit?
這還會繼續縮小一點嗎?
Amy Hood - CFO

Let me take that and Satya, you can add at the end if you want.
讓我接受這個,Satya,如果你願意,你可以在最後添加。
I think, Mark, you are reading it correctly.
我想,馬克,你沒看錯。
We've actually had our annuity volume licensing business, as you know, has been showing growth and stability for a while.
如您所知,我們實際上已經擁有年金批量許可業務,一段時間以來一直在增長和穩定。
As we talked about, Pro is back to the pre-XP levels.
正如我們所說,Pro 回到了 XP 之前的水平。
While you can see some fluctuation, I think this has been a very stable business for us for a long period of time when you take out that XP bump from last year.
雖然您可以看到一些波動,但我認為這對我們來說在很長一段時間內都是非常穩定的業務,因為您從去年開始剔除 XP 的增長。
Talking about consumer, I think, frankly, Satya and I both reflected a bit on it in our comments.
談到消費者,坦率地說,我和 Satya 在我們的評論中都對此有所反映。
We do expect to see some additional inventory drawdown in front of a launch, and that's not unusual, prior to a launch cycle.
我們確實希望在發布前看到一些額外的庫存下降,這在發布週期之前並不罕見。
That'll clearly impact our revenue in the quarter.
這顯然會影響我們本季度的收入。
But I think as I look to 2016, I'm excited about the designs we've seen, and I'm excited about the products that are possible with Windows 10.
但我認為,展望 2016 年,我對我們所看到的設計感到興奮,我對 Windows 10 可能推出的產品感到興奮。
And I think we feel good and are looking forward to sharing some of that excitement next week.

Satya Nadella - CEO

One thing I would also add is there is actually a much more fundamental transformation happening even with how we think about Windows and its delivery, and we'll talk more about this at the financial analyst briefing next week, because increasingly I think about the lifetime value we can deliver to the user of a Windows device, be it in consumer or even in the enterprise.
我還要補充的一件事是,即使我們如何看待 Windows 及其交付,實際上也會發生更根本的轉變,我們將在下週的財務分析師簡報會上更多地討論這個問題,因為我越來越多地考慮生命週期我們可以為 Windows 設備的用戶提供價值,無論是消費者還是企業。
And if you think about when we say Windows is a service, it is actually a pretty profound construct which involves us being able to not only think about what shifts with OEMs, but how do we on a continuous basis if it is the consumer we have things now in the store, we have subscriptions, we have gaming, and when it comes to the enterprise there is management, security, servicing, which is all unique value.
如果你想想當我們說 Windows 是一項服務時,它實際上是一個非常深刻的結構,它讓我們不僅能夠思考 OEM 發生了什麼變化,而且如果它是我們擁有的消費者,我們如何持續地思考現在商店裡有東西,我們有訂閱,我們有遊戲,而對於企業來說,管理、安全、服務都是獨一無二的價值。
So there's going to be an increasing emphasis in the concept of lifetime value that we can deliver to customers.
因此,我們可以向客戶提供的終生價值概念將越來越受到重視。

It sounds like cloud Azure represents an opportunity to transition existing customers to a cloud model, but also to expand your customer base or penetrate -- penetration into your current customer base with -- incremental business is what I'm talking about.
聽起來雲 Azure 代表了將現有客戶轉變為雲模型的機會,而且還可以擴大您的客戶群或滲透 - 滲透到您當前的客戶群中 - 增量業務就是我所說的。
I think that most of Office 365, because most people were already on Office, represents transitions from the license model.
我認為 Office 365 的大部分內容,因為大多數人已經在使用 Office,代表了從許可模型的過渡。
But so far, and I know it's still early, but so far, what about the rest?
但到目前為止,我知道現在還為時過早,但到目前為止,剩下的呢?
Can you give us an idea of how much of this is new business and how much of this is transition business?
您能否告訴我們其中有多少是新業務,有多少是過渡業務?
Satya Nadella - CEO
Satya Nadella - CEO
Let me start and you can add.
讓我開始,你可以添加。
I think you have to sort of look at all the use cases.
我認為您必須查看所有用例。
In fact, as I said a lot of the Azure use case, I think you referenced this, has been non-zero sum, because people started building their mobile backend, web backend, using big data and not the workloads we have.
事實上,正如我所說的很多 Azure 用例,我認為你提到的這個,是非零和的,因為人們開始使用大數據而不是我們擁有的工作負載來構建他們的移動後端、Web 後端。
I look at everyday usage growth.
我關注日常使用量的增長。
Even if they are creating a web workload, it is a different type of web backend in a mobile backend, and the same thing with advanced analytics.
即使他們正在創建 Web 工作負載,它也是移動後端中不同類型的 Web 後端,與高級分析相同。
I even look at the growth of virtual machine instances on Azure.
我什至關注 Azure 上虛擬機實例的增長。
We not only see Windows server, obviously, but we see 20%-plus of Linux growth.
顯然,我們不僅看到了 Windows 服務器,而且看到了 20% 以上的 Linux 增長。
So that's again non-zero sum.
所以這又是非零和。
There is a significant traction we have in terms of moving beyond just one-for-one shift of a workload that traditionally ran on a server to our Azure cloud.
在將傳統上在服務器上運行的工作負載一對一轉移到我們的 Azure 雲方面,我們有很大的吸引力。
In fact, if anything the majority what we're seeing is new.
事實上,如果有的話,我們所看到的大多數都是新的。
Even in Office 365, it's not just one-for-one share.
即使在 Office 365 中,它也不僅僅是一對一的共享。
Of course, if you are using a large enterprise exchange and you move to Office 365, you moved to using exchange online and the same thing is true for SharePoint.
當然,如果您使用的是大型企業交換並遷移到 Office 365,則您會遷移到使用在線交換,SharePoint 也是如此。
But again take all the other things I described, Power BI, Delve, and the list goes on, take eDiscovery -- even for the largest of enterprise, these are things that had low penetration and low deployment, and we are seeing an increasing usage of it.
但是,再次以我描述的所有其他事物為例,Power BI、Delve 等等,以 eDiscovery 為例——即使對於最大的企業而言,這些事物的滲透率和部署率都較低,而且我們看到使用率正在增加其中。
Same thing with our Dynamics business.
我們的動態業務也是如此。
EMS.
特快專遞。
It's completely a new category.
這完全是一個新類別。
We never had that kind of a management footprint.
我們從未有過這樣的管理足跡。
We now have the ability to have one control plane for IT for all the devices, identity management, device management, data protection; that's a new workload.
我們現在有能力為所有設備、身份管理、設備管理、數據保護提供一個 IT 控制平面;這是一個新的工作量。
So, that's what we are seeing.
所以,這就是我們所看到的。
We definitely are seeing one-for-one migration for the opportunity in every one of the offerings from Office 365 to Dynamics to Azure has a non-zero sum component to it.
我們肯定會看到從 Office 365 到 Dynamics 到 Azure 的每一項產品中的機會的一對一遷移都有一個非零和組件。

I want to be clear because you said something -- other than Office 365, did you say the majority of the cloud business is new business?
我想澄清一下,因為您說了一些東西——除了 Office 365,您是否說大部分雲業務是新業務?
Again, I know it can't be -- maybe you know exactly what it is, but I'm sure some of it is somewhat cloudy -- no pun intended -- or vague.
再說一次,我知道這不可能——也許你確切地知道它是什麼,但我敢肯定其中一些有點模糊——沒有雙關語的意思——或者含糊不清。
Do you think most it at this point is new business?
您認為此時最重要的是新業務嗎?
Is that what I heard you say?
這是我聽到你說的嗎?
Satya Nadella - CEO

Yes, also, it comes in interesting ways.
是的,它也以有趣的方式出現。
One thing -- IT, as you know, it's not about replacing what you have, it's always augmenting what you have.
有一件事——正如你所知,IT 並不是要取代你所擁有的東西,它總是會增加你所擁有的東西。
A classic scenario would be take a SQL database application and bring it to the cloud, and then build a new mobile backend using the same data.
一個經典的場景是將一個 SQL 數據庫應用程序帶到雲端,然後使用相同的數據構建一個新的移動後端。
So, reuse of code, reuse of data.
所以,代碼的重用,數據的重用。
You would use some amount of IaaS infrastructure and then PaaS consumption.
您將使用一定數量的 IaaS 基礎設施,然後使用 PaaS。
That's one of the very typical enterprise solutions you will see.
這是您將看到的非常典型的企業解決方案之一。
In fact, our own IT systems, take what we've done with our HR and our financial systems and some of those things, as they moved to the cloud, we bring some existing and then add to it.
事實上,我們自己的 IT 系統,利用我們對人力資源和財務系統所做的事情以及其中一些事情,當它們遷移到雲中時,我們會帶來一些現有的,然後添加到其中。

A follow-up to the question John had on Azure.
John 在 Azure 上提出的問題的後續行動。
Amazon released their profitability for the first time on AWS and it was higher than most people were expecting.
亞馬遜首次在 AWS 上公佈了盈利能力,高於大多數人的預期。
I'm wondering how we should think about your mix of business in Azure, you're running Linux, you're running a lot of services based on open source software, you're also running some of your own IP there.
我想知道我們應該如何考慮您在 Azure 中的業務組合,您正在運行 Linux,您正在運行許多基於開源軟件的服務,您還在那裡運行一些您自己的 IP。
How should we think about where your margins are today and should we think of Amazon's AWS margins as a good benchmark for where you could be at scale they are at today?
我們應該如何考慮您今天的利潤率,我們是否應該將亞馬遜的 AWS 利潤率視為您今天可能達到的規模的良好基準?
Satya Nadella - CEO
Satya Nadella - CEO
First of all, I don't think of the comparison between Azure and AWS is the true north for me.
首先,我不認為 Azure 和 AWS 之間的比較對我來說是真正的北方。
I think about the Microsoft cloud, because even the way we do capital, the way we measure utilization, is all with the complete unit, which is, of course, all of Office 365 runs on Azure.
我想到了微軟雲,因為即使我們做資本的方式,我們衡量利用率的方式,都是完整的單元,當然,所有的 Office 365 都在 Azure 上運行。
Azure AD powers all of our cloud, so it's really its entirety that we think of as our unique value.
Azure AD 為我們所有的雲提供支持,因此我們認為它的整體是我們的獨特價值。
That means we have SaaS, which is a huge component between 365 and dynamics, PaaS which is a huge component of Azure itself.
這意味著我們擁有 SaaS,它是 365 和動態之間的一個巨大組件,PaaS 是 Azure 本身的一個巨大組件。
We see many customers who use our PaaS services and even AWS.
我們看到許多使用我們的 PaaS 服務甚至 AWS 的客戶。
For example, you can in fact do a single sign-on using EMS and Azure AD in Azure and use your resources on AWS.
例如,您實際上可以在 Azure 中使用 EMS 和 Azure AD 進行單點登錄,並在 AWS 上使用您的資源。
Then, of course, we have our IaaS business.
然後,當然,我們有我們的 IaaS 業務。
That's how we think about it.
這就是我們的想法。
Then it is reflected even in our margins.
然後它甚至反映在我們的利潤中。
We look at the cloud margins, they will have revenue quality which is very different that is a combination of PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS, and that's how we want to make sure we make progress, because that is where both product value which is unique to us, and also the quality of revenue that is unique to us.
我們看看雲利潤,它們的收入質量會非常不同,它是 PaaS、IaaS 和 SaaS 的組合,這就是我們希望確保我們取得進展的方式,因為這兩種產品價值都是獨一無二的對我們來說,以及我們獨有的收入質量。
But one other thing -- my worldview is not that all compute storage networks just go to one place.
但另一件事——我的世界觀並不是所有的計算存儲網絡都集中在一個地方。
That's why I think about servers as the edge of the cloud and as I said there's a huge software asset in there, which is becoming increasingly competitive.
這就是為什麼我將服務器視為雲的邊緣,正如我所說,那裡有巨大的軟件資產,競爭越來越激烈。
Of course, we don't count that in our run rate, when we talk about the $6 billion-plus run rate, that's pure public cloud number and that's fantastic to see and we want to measure it that way.
當然,我們不會將其計入我們的運行率,當我們談論超過 60 億美元的運行率時,那是純粹的公共雲數字,這真是太棒了,我們希望以這種方式來衡量它。
But, quite frankly if you looked at what is broadly happening in the cloud transition, we are participating in both the private hybrid cloud as well as the public cloud.
但是,坦率地說,如果您查看雲轉型中廣泛發生的情況,我們會同時參與私有混合雲和公共雲。

Satya Nadella - CEO
Satya Nadella - CEO
I'll start.
我會開始的。
I think as far as the low-cost devices, it's pretty broad, I think.
我認為就低成本設備而言,它相當廣泛。
We think of the US itself being, in fact, a big driver of some of the growth on the consumer side.
事實上,我們認為美國本身就是消費端部分增長的主要推動力。
We're also obviously stimulated there so we can be much more effective even in the educational markets worldwide.
我們顯然也受到了刺激,因此即使在全球教育市場上,我們也可以更加有效。
And Amy can add to that, if we have any more detail on it.
如果我們有更多詳細信息,艾米可以補充。
When it comes to our commercial licensing and servers, it's the same trend, Heather, which is the big shift that's happening is our enterprise and data center products being Windows Servers, System Center, SQL Server are more competitive.
當談到我們的商業許可和服務器時,趨勢是一樣的,Heather,正在發生的重大轉變是我們的企業和數據中心產品,即 Windows Server、System Center、SQL Server 更具競爭力。
It's the same thing I would say at least in the last couple of years clearly have played out.
至少在過去的幾年裡,我會說同樣的事情顯然已經發生了。
There's clearly -- in fact, as our products are becoming competitive there has been a mix shift.
很明顯——事實上,隨著我們的產品變得越來越有競爭力,已經發生了混合轉變。
People have bought from us previously just standard editions, are able to now look at our enterprise editions, and that is what is playing out.
人們以前從我們這裡購買的只是標準版,現在可以查看我們的企業版,這就是正在發生的事情。
There's definitely some pricing action we were able to take, mostly because we were able to deliver the incremental value.
我們肯定能夠採取一些定價行動,主要是因為我們能夠提供增量價值。
Even with all the pricing action we took, we from a total cost of ownership or just raw pricing perspective, are very competitive versus what is available in the market.
即使我們採取了所有定價措施,但從總擁有成本或僅原始定價的角度來看,與市場上可用的產品相比,我們仍然非常具有競爭力。
So, that's what we see.
所以,這就是我們所看到的。
So these cycles, some of the pricing actions were anniversary out, but the overall thing that I'm focused on is how can we continue to run our software asset ourselves in public cloud and translate that into our servers and really paint this vision and make it a reality of hybrid computing and drive the secular growth of that.
所以這些週期,一些定價行動是周年紀念日,但我關注的總體問題是我們如何繼續在公共雲中運行我們自己的軟件資產,並將其轉化為我們的服務器,並真正描繪出這個願景並做出它是混合計算的現實,並推動了它的長期增長。

For example, do you think you've built out data center capacity to support the commercial cloud business all the way to a $10 billion run rate or a $20 billion run rate?
例如,您是否認為您已經構建了數據中心容量來支持商業雲業務,一直到 100 億美元或 200 億美元的運行率?
If there's any way you can help us to try to gauge how much overhead you have in the capacity, and perhaps what type of data center footprint you envision a few years down the road?

事實上,我會說在過去幾年中發生的重大變化之一,而且我還會向 Amy 詳細介紹,是我們從長期領先的事情(例如實際數據中心位置)開始處理所有事情的方式以及對單台機器的採購以及主要是在製品庫存的擴建。
We have driven significant process improvement to essentially make it as efficient as one can make it and that is a continuous process for us.
我們推動了重大的流程改進,從本質上使其盡可能高效,這對我們來說是一個持續的過程。
So, when I think about even the capital allocation per quarter, we carefully look at what is our current utilization forecast and what our demand forecast is.
因此,當我考慮每季度的資本分配時,我們會仔細查看我們當前的利用率預測和需求預測。
And we now have the ability to be much more dynamic.
我們現在有能力變得更有活力。
Surely, there are some things which are long lead, like data center locations but you don't need to build out data centers much before they are really being utilized.
當然,有些事情是長期領先的,比如數據中心的位置,但你不需要在數據中心真正被利用之前建立太多的數據中心。
So we have a very good process and that is a place where quite frankly a lot of the proprietary advantage of someone who is an at scale public cloud provider, not just with one application, and this is where the huge distinction is.
因此,我們有一個非常好的流程,坦率地說,這是一個擁有大規模公共雲提供商的很多專有優勢的地方,而不僅僅是一個應用程序,這就是巨大的區別所在。
After all, we did run large scale consumer services ourselves, between Xbox LIVE and Bing, but the business of supporting a highly geo-distributed enterprise cloud business is very different than just running in one mass scale public cloud service and we've learned a lot with what is our workload diversity as well as our geodiversity, and our supply chain management is optimized for it.
畢竟,我們自己確實在 Xbox LIVE 和 Bing 之間運行過大規模的消費者服務,但是支持高度地理分佈的企業雲業務的業務與僅在一個大規模的公共雲服務中運行有很大不同,我們已經了解到我們的工作量多樣性和地理多樣性是什麼,我們的供應鏈管理已針對它進行了優化。

I would add, Mark, this is a place as Satya just said, we have made a lot of progress in being data driven and this is down to a monthly review, by workload, by property, by geo.
我要補充一點,馬克,正如 Satya 剛才所說,我們在數據驅動方面取得了很大進展,這取決於按工作量、按財產、按地理位置進行的每月審查。
This is a place where I feel that we are in a terrific position, frankly, to respond to data sovereignty demands, changes politically, and our ability to execute that to provide what our customers demand, in terms of security and manageability and location.
坦率地說,在這個地方,我覺得我們處於非常有利的位置,可以響應數據主權要求、政治變化以及我們執行這些要求的能力,以提供客戶在安全性、可管理性和位置方面的需求。
This is something that we care a lot about.
這是我們非常關心的事情。
