So I guess that we can say for sure (2009-2010 numbers) that online stuff is now loosing money, windows is now doing better that office, and gaming is quite behind but stable and profitable (albeit a lot less that office or windows). Let's be frank too, were talking about billions here, so those segments are quite big.

I can't tell you specifics but I can tell you that Microsoft knows the cloud is losing money for now.

That's okay though - At least MS is smart enough to make an investment in a nascent technology. I bet everyone is losing money on the cloud, or barely breaking even.

Even Rackspace's Net Income is only 10 million dollars, coming off of 178 million dollars worth of revenue.

New businesses take time to grow.
