Windows Desktop, MS Office, Visual Studio, Xbox (platform AND games), Skype.
All of these are profitable. Then you have Azure, which I'm not sure if it is profitable, but will most certainly be. Very profitable.
Geesh, how are these guys alive even? They should give Dynamics AX for free, otherwise they are toast!
- serve_yay 12y agoI agree with the point you're making. However if you look at that list... it's not all the fresh-faced glitzy stuff people are so excited about. So really, what has changed about MS as a company if they make money in the same ways they did 5 years ago. (Skype as one of the examples, though?! Skype is likely never going to be profitable for MS, right?)
- blumkvist 12y agoWho are these people excited about glitzy stuff? SaaS startups? Do you know what a small part of the world those people are?
