According to the graph in the article they actually made profit in 2004 and 2005 and only a small loss in 06..
I'll admit some of the web products suck (hotmail?) but not bing, they haven't been able to profit from it. I guess currently they are after marketshare rather than profits. Think of it like a startup burning through some initial VC money to get customers except that they have a lot of money to burn!
Disclaimer: They pay my bills, but am not really a fanboy just not anti-microsoft.

- dangrossman 17y agoHotmail is the second most popular e-mail service on the web, second only to Yahoo! Mail.
- cakesy 17y agoYes, but it still sucks. It is just hard to move your email address, and lots of people don't know any better. Anyone with any sense, and not many friends has already gone.
