Microsoft's Windows-and-devices group again records lower revenue
Microsoft yesterday again reported a decline in revenue for the group responsible for Windows, the Surface line of 2-in-1s and notebooks, and smartphones, in 2015's fourth quarter. But the contraction was smaller than the period immediately prior.
Total revenue for the More Personal Computing (MPC) division -- a 2015 creation in another Microsoft reshuffling of both the company's org chart and how it reported earnings -- in the December quarter was $12.7 billion.

In the September quarter, MPC revenue was down 17% year-over-year (or -13% under "constant currency" calculations).
