all get out. They have lots of cash cows and are raising new
ones constantly.  I disagree. As was posted above, 36% of it's
profit is Windows. 41% is Office.  Tools and Server is only 18%.
XBox and Zune (which they just discontinued) is 3%. Their
losses? $1.8b last quarter, which is all the profit they made
from Server and Tools.  Software is EVERYTHING to Microsoft, end
of story. It isn't "hype" that software is what pays for their
loss leaders, it is harsh reality. They can't seem to break
through anywhere else. Their one hit, the XBox, is finally in
the black after five years, and their one good new product with
Windows Phone 7 is having a hard time against Android.  I
personally believe that the whole PC is dying thing is overblown
as well, but they are also missing out in the rapid growth and
insanely profit
