Best Answer

Unearned revenue is typical for Microsoft due to the nature of their products, such asWindows and Office. At the time of sale, customers pay for the current version of the software as well as future upgrades that will become available. Microsoft recognizes revenue for the sale of the current version, and records unearned revenue for the value of future upgrades.
