This is only the beginning. Nuketown is only days away and Season 1 is right around the corner. We\u2019re just getting started.\u201d <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Nadella announced the results during today&#8217;s Microsoft earnings, which as usual focused heavily on the company&#8217;s AI and cloud-based initiatives.
