Those numbers have nothing at all to do with why MS' shareholders are unhappy. They're upset because the ROI of MS' windows operation is something like 7 times higher than that of Entertainment and Devices and they think the money could be better invested elsewhere.
Investors never look at accumulated gains/losses from years past as a measure of how well the company is doing now, in the present.
