Microsoft Corp. - are these results that good ?

Most recently Microsoft has released its last quater report. The market assessed them as excellent - the price went up nearly 6%. Let us look at the chart:

Now let us look at  a few last quarter's basic numbers -  revenues and margins:


I made just one adjustment - the revenues and margins on corporate level were deleted. I focused only on the core Microsoft's businesses.
As you can see the revenues went up 7.52% against last year revenues but margins much less because only 2.71%. Well, Microsoft is still a fantastic company but are the last quarter's results really that good ? I do not think so.
