Agree, except that windows is a clearly de-emphasized product. License revenues are contracting faster than the PC market - almost 1.5x as fast. They're not releasing new paid versions anymore, and exploring things like paid support options a la redhat. It doesn't even have a dedicated department anymore.
Xbox and surface have been surging though, which is the real strength in that profit center.
