Microsoft Corp's quarterly profit fell a smaller-than-expected 18 percent on Friday, as the world's largest software company held up better than feared, sending its shares up 8 percent.
The company, which released its new Windows 7 operating system this week, reported fiscal first-quarter profit of $3.57 billion, or 40 cents per share, compared with $4.37 billion, or 48 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.
Wall Street expected profit of 32 cents per share, on average, according to Thomson Reuters.
