"Sharepoint, SQLServer, Windows 7, Windows Server, Windows Virtual Server, CRM, Exchange Server, XBox, Xbox live, Bing, Zune, Microsoft Automotive platform, Win 7 phone."
Has it actually been determined that Microsoft makes any profit at all from any of those products? Entertainment division (where XBox and Live and Zune lives) is about 12% of their revenue and is still not profitable, while search and online (which is Bing and MSN) loses $700 Million every quarter or thereabouts (at least it did last fiscal quarter).
Their bread and butter has always been Windows and Office. That other stuff are loss leaders, in a way.
- protomyth 16y agoSharepoint is a pretty good seller for them. Exchange has as much of a lock on corporations as Windows.
