Kule kota yokugcina, imali engenayo ngokuthengiswa kwamaphilisi abo ngaphezu kokuphindwe kabili Uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo sonyaka odlule. Uma ezinyangeni ezintathu zokugcina zika-2012, labo abavela e-Redmond bangena cishe ezigidini ezingu-400 zamadola e-Surface, ngalezo zinyanga ezifanayo ngo-2013 bazuza. Ama-dollar ayi-893.

Esigabeni sayo sesibili sezimali, kusukela ngoSepthemba kuya kuDisemba, inkampani yayinentengiso yezigidigidi ezingama-24.500, cishe amasenti angama-78 ngesabelo ngasinye. 23.700 million bekulindeleke ngenzuzo yamasenti angama-68 ngesheya ngalinye.
Yize i- I-General Dynamics ilungileKube noqhekeko olungenzi kahle njengezinye. Nakuba imali engenayo kumishini nakubathengi ifinyelele ezigidini ezingu-11.910, ngokukhula ngo-13%, kube nokuncipha kwemali eqoqwe ngamalayisensi ngo-6%.
Abakhiqizi abasemthethweni (ama-OEM), abathengi be-Office kanye ne-Windows Phone bangaphakathi kwalesi sikhwama, nakuba ngamunye unomthwalo wemfanelo ohlukile. Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi i- Imakethe ye-PC iwa kakhulu, cishe u-6% ngonyaka, phakathi kwezinye izinto ngenxa yokuphumelela kwefomethi yethebhulethi emazweni asafufusa, lapho kuyikhompyutha yomuntu yesibili ngemva kwe-smartphone. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ngenkathi amalayisense eWindows Pro enyusa imali engenayo ngo-20%, lawo angewona ama-Pro, lawo abathengi abajwayelekile, ehla ngo-12%, laba bakamuva banesisindo esengeziwe.

Eqinisweni, siwubonile umkhiqizo uphela esitokweni ngokuphindaphindiwe phakathi nomkhankaso kaKhisimusi nokuthengisa.
Lokhu kubavumele ukuthi bathole imali ephindwe kabili nakuba bengakhiqizi inzuzo. I izindleko zale mali engenayo beziyizigidi ezingama-932 amadola, kanjalo ekugcineni balahlekelwe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-39.
Ekugcineni, sabona ushintsho olubalulekile ku-dynamics, nakuba kusenendlela ende okufanele yenziwe, njengoba kuqashelwe nguHood ngokwakhe.
