Legit question, how much a failure is the bone? Are there financial statements out yet?

Also they're going to make (less than 2.5 billion dollars of) money on Minecraft, dummy!

They are able to disguise any profit or loss because the same division gets billions in free money from android licensing microsoft patents

Here's the article


With the Xbone being a failure and this being the 'last major update' I wonder how the hell Microsoft plans to make money?
I feel like their uncountable pile of patents, software licences, government contracts, overseas expansions, people who are just plain used to Windows and simple inertia will keep Microsoft comfortably profitable even without releasing any new operating systems.

Doesn't that also sort of hurt their business model? I would have guessed entire businesses upgrading from older to newer versions of windows was one of their consistent revenue sources with each release.

No, it will mean a horrible and retarded subscription model where they can charge everyone licence fees on a regular and recurring basis rather than selling standalone software.

Much worse news for non business users because it means they will be racking up the charges and restricting your rights even further.

A version of Windows that requires a subscription just means that the previous version will be the last version you ever need to develop for.
