From a financial perspective, the implications are big for the company. The Microsoft Business Division, home to Microsoft Office, is the largest division of the company, posting $17.7 billion in revenue and $11.6 billion in operating profits through the first nine months of the company's 2012 fiscal year. Later this week, on Thursday afternoon, Microsoft will announce its financial results for the quarter and fiscal year ended June 30. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect the company to post quarterly earnings of 62 cents per share, down 10 percent from the same quarter a year ago. That's not counting the impact of the aQuantive write-down, which will probably push the company overall into the red for the quarter. Microsoft shares are trading around $29.30 this morning. That's down about 2 percent over the past month. Follow-up : First look: Microsoft remakes Office for tablets and the cloud
