Microsoft Corporation
Our vision
Microsoft is a technology company whose mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
Our strategy is to build best-in-class platforms and productivity services for a mobile- first, cloud-first world.
The mobile-first, cloud-first world is transforming the way individuals and organizations use and interact with technology. Mobility is
not focused on any one device; it is centered on the mobility of experiences that, in turn, are orchestrated by the cloud. Cloud computing and
storage solutions provide people and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party datacenters. Mobility
encompasses the rich collection of data, applications, and services that accompany our customers as they move from setting to setting in their
lives. We are transforming our businesses to enable Microsoft to lead the direction of this digital transformation, and enable our customers and
partners to thrive in this evolving world.
What we offer
Founded in 1975, we operate worldwide in over 190 countries. We develop, license, and support a wide range of software products,
services, and devices that deliver new opportunities, greater convenience, and enhanced value to people's lives.
Our products include operating systems; cross-device productivity applications; server applications; business solution applications;
desktop and server management tools; software development tools; video games; and training and certification of computer system integrators
and developers. We also design, manufacture, and sell devices, including PCs, tablets, gaming and entertainment consoles, phones, other
intelligent devices, and related accessories, that integrate with our cloud-based offerings. We offer an array of services, including cloud- based
solutions that provide customers with software, services, platforms, and content, and we provide solution support and consulting services. We
also deliver relevant online advertising to a global audience.
The ambitions that drive us
To carry out our strategy, our research and development efforts focus on three interconnected ambitions:


·
Reinvent productivity and business processes.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/789019/000119312517025714/d338146d424b2.htm[1/31/2017 4:27:20 PM]


424B2

·
Build the intelligent cloud platform.


·
Create more personal computing.
Reinvent productivity and business processes
We believe we can significantly enhance the lives of our customers using our broad portfolio of productivity, communication, and
information services that span devices and platforms. Productivity will be the


S-1
Table of Contents
first and foremost objective, to enable people to meet and collaborate more easily, and to effectively express ideas in new ways. We invent
new scenarios that in turn create opportunity for our partners and help businesses accelerate their transformation while respecting each
person's privacy choices. The foundation for these efforts will rest on advancing our leading productivity, collaboration, communication, and
business process tools including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, OneDrive, Skype, and Microsoft Dynamics ("Dynamics").
With Office 365, we provide these familiar industry-leading productivity and business process tools as cloud services, enabling access from
anywhere and any device. This creates an opportunity to reach new customers and expand the usage of our services by our existing customers.
We see opportunity in combining our offerings in new ways that are mobile, collaborative, intelligent and trustworthy. We offer our services
across platforms and devices outside our own. As people move from device to device, so will their content and the richness of their services.
We engineer our applications so users can find, try, and buy them in friction-free ways.
Build the intelligent cloud platform
In deploying technology that advances business strategy, enterprises decide what solutions will make employees more productive,
collaborative, and satisfied, and connect with customers in new and compelling ways. They work to unlock business insights from a world of
data. To achieve these objectives, increasingly businesses look to leverage the benefits of the cloud. Helping businesses move to the cloud is
one of our largest opportunities, and we believe we work from a position of strength. Microsoft is one of two leaders in the market.
The shift to the cloud is driven by three important economies of scale: larger datacenters can deploy computational resources at
significantly lower cost per unit than smaller ones; larger datacenters can coordinate and aggregate diverse customer, geographic, and
application demand patterns, improving the utilization of computing, storage, and network resources; and multi-tenancy lowers application
maintenance labor costs for large public clouds. As one of the largest providers of cloud computing at scale, we are well-positioned to help
businesses move to the cloud and focus on innovation while leaving non-differentiating activities to reliable and cost-effective providers like
Microsoft.
We believe our server products and cloud services, which include Microsoft SQL Server ("SQL Server"), Windows Server, Visual
Studio, System Center, and Microsoft Azure ("Azure"), make us the only company with a public, private, and hybrid cloud platform that can
power modern business. With Azure, we are one of very few cloud vendors that run at a scale that meets the needs of businesses of all sizes
and complexities. We are working to enhance the return on IT investment by enabling enterprises to combine their existing datacenters and
our public cloud into a single cohesive infrastructure. Businesses can deploy applications in their own datacenter, a partner's datacenter, or in
our datacenters with common security, management, and administration across all environments, with the flexibility and scale they want.
We enable organizations to securely adopt software-as-a-service applications, both our own and third-party, and integrate them with
their existing security and management infrastructure. We continue to innovate with higher-level services including identity and directory
services that manage employee corporate identity and manage and secure corporate information accessed and stored across a growing number
of devices, rich data storage and analytics services, machine learning services, media services, web and mobile backend services, and
developer productivity services. To foster a rich developer ecosystem, our platform is extensible, enabling customers and partners to further
customize and enhance our solutions, achieving even more value. This strategy requires continuing investment in datacenters and other
infrastructure to support our services.
Create more personal computing
We strive to make computing more personal by putting users at the core of the experience, enabling them to interact with technology in
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/789019/000119312517025714/d338146d424b2.htm[1/31/2017 4:27:20 PM]

more intuitive, engaging, and dynamic ways. A computing device should be not just a


S-2
Table of Contents
tool, but a partner. Windows 10 is the cornerstone of our ambition to usher in this era of more personal computing. We consider the launch of
Windows 10 in July 2015 to be a critical, transformative moment as we moved from an operating system that runs on a PC to a service that
can power the full spectrum of devices. We developed Windows 10 not only to be familiar to our users, but more safe, secure, and always
up-to-date. Windows 10 is more personal and productive with functionality such as Cortana, Windows Hello, Windows Ink, Microsoft Edge,
and universal applications. Windows 10 is designed to foster innovation--from us, our partners, and developers--through rich and consistent
experiences across the range of existing devices and into entirely new device categories.
Our ambition for Windows 10 is to broaden our economic opportunity through three key levers: an original equipment manufacturer
("OEM") ecosystem that creates exciting new hardware designs for Windows 10; our own commitment to the health and profitability of our
first-party premium device portfolio; and monetization opportunities such as services, subscriptions, gaming, and search advertising. Our OEM
partners are investing in an extensive portfolio of hardware designs and configurations for Windows 10. We now have the widest range of
Windows hardware ever available.
With the unified Windows operating system, developers and OEMs can contribute to a thriving Windows ecosystem. We invest heavily
to make Windows the most secure, manageable, and capable operating system for the needs of a modern workforce. We are working to create
a broad developer opportunity by unifying the installed base to Windows 10 through upgrades and ongoing updates, and by enabling universal
Windows applications to run across all device targets. As part of our strategic objectives, we are committed to designing and marketing first-
party devices to help drive innovation, create new categories, and stimulate demand in the Windows ecosystem. We are developing new
input/output methods within Windows 10, including speech, pen, gesture, and augmented reality holograms to power more personal
computing experiences.
Our future opportunity
There are several distinct areas of technology that we aim to drive forward. Our goal is to lead the industry in these areas over the long-
term, which we expect will translate to sustained growth. We are investing significant resources in:

·
Delivering new productivity and business processes to improve how people communicate, collaborate, learn, work, play, and

interact with one another.


·
Building and running cloud-based services in ways that unleash new experiences and opportunities for businesses and individuals.

·
Establishing the Windows platform across servers and devices, both our own and third-party, and the cloud to drive a thriving

ecosystem of developers, unify the cross-device user experience, and increase agility when bringing new advances to market.

·
Developing new devices that have increasingly natural ways to interact with them, including speech, pen, gesture, and augmented

reality holograms.

·
Applying machine learning to make technology more intuitive and able to act on our behalf to understand and interpret our needs

using natural methods of communication.
We believe the breadth of our products and services portfolio, our large global partner and customer base, our growing ecosystem, and
our ongoing investment in innovation position us to be a leader in these areas and differentiate ourselves from competitors.

Ranking
The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with our other
unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding.

Further issuances
We may from time to time issue further notes of any series ranking equally and ratably
with the notes of such series in all respects, including the same terms as to status,
redemption or otherwise.

Form and denomination
The notes of each series will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global
securities, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. These global securities will be deposited with the
trustee as custodian for, and registered in the name of, a nominee of The Depository
Trust Company ("DTC"). Except in the limited circumstances described under
"Description of the Debt Securities--Book-Entry; Delivery and Form; Global
Securities" in the accompanying prospectus, notes in certificated form will not be issued
or exchanged for interests in global securities.

Trading
The notes are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. We do not
intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange. The underwriters
have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in each series of the notes,
but they are not obligated to do so and may, in their sole discretion, discontinue market-
making at any time without notice. See "Underwriting" in this prospectus supplement
for more information.

Trustee
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the notes involves risks. Before making a decision to invest in the notes, you should carefully consider the risks described under
"Risk Factors" in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016, each of which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement, as well as the risks set forth below. See "Where You Can Find More Information" in the accompanying prospectus.
The indenture governing the notes does not contain financial covenants or meaningful restrictions on us or our subsidiaries.
Neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are restricted from incurring additional debt or other liabilities, including debt secured by liens, under
the indenture. We may from time to time incur additional debt and other liabilities. In addition, we are not restricted from paying dividends or
making distributions on our capital stock or purchasing or redeeming our capital stock under the indenture.
Active trading markets for the notes may not develop.
The notes are new issues of securities with no established trading markets. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any securities
exchange. We cannot assure you trading markets for the notes will develop or of the ability of holders of the notes to sell their notes or of the
prices at which holders may be able to sell their notes. The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in each series
of the notes. However, the underwriters are not obligated to do so, and any market-making with respect to the notes may be discontinued, in their
sole discretion, at any time without notice. If no active trading markets develop, you may be unable to resell the notes at any price or at their fair
market value.
If trading markets do develop, changes in our ratings or the financial markets could adversely affect the market prices of the notes.
The market prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including, among others, the following:


·
ratings on our debt securities assigned by rating agencies;


·
the prevailing interest rates being paid by other companies similar to us;


·
our results of operations, financial condition and prospects; and


·
the condition of the financial markets.
The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future, which
could have an adverse effect on the market prices of the notes.
Rating agencies continually review the ratings they have assigned to companies and debt securities. Negative changes in the ratings assigned
to us or our debt securities could have an adverse effect on the market prices of the notes.
