All the thousands of people they fired are not even a billion of their 27 billion profit. The greed of these guys…
Profits from Windows sales are less than 5%. Wouldn’t it have been logical to make Windows officially free for home use? After all, the free activation scripts are still on GitHub, which is owned by Microsoft.
Diagram doesn’t answer the question how the money was made. From it we can’t tell if, for example 365 Consumer brings ANY profit, or how much profit.
It certainly wasn’t by maintaining azure stability and pushing quality wow patches 😅
Man, imagine bringing home around $27 billion (more or less) in “Net Income” every 3 months.
LinkedIn and Windows each earn almost as much as their Gaming division.
Bing search and ads are almost $4 billion lol.
These are revenues but I wonder what are the profit margins of LinkedIn, Windows, and Gaming.
Somehow I’m not surprised they spend so much on sadism and masochism.
Wtf was in the “Other” category that they went down 70% Y/Y on it?
Wow, the money machine of 365 services was a little surprising. 6x Windows!
