If you kept reading the paragraph you quote, it also says "since Microsoft began breaking out that unit's finances in 2007, the company has lost a total of $9 billion." While the title of this post is not stating a clear timeline for the loss, it still is technically correct.
And the original comment you're referring to isn't stating a clear bias against Microsoft, per se. It's more that they're stating a general perception: that Microsoft is Windows and that it's mostly a desktop software provider. I think we can all agree that the general public agrees with that.
Don't worry - not all of us are out to get Microsoft.
- credo 15y agoWrong again. The online services division has lost $9B since 2007. "online services division" is not the same as "Bing". It is a division which (over the years) has included several different products/services. Bing (created in 2009) is one of those services. MSN used to be (and may still be) part of that division.
