People can say they don't like Win 8, but you can't say it isn't making a lot of money.

It's half the price per license, and it didn't increase PC sales. So yes you can say that.

100m app downloads includes free apps, the number is worthless without the breakdown into paid apps or revenue figures.

Yes. This is all bad news. 

I've only seen bad news (in context) so far. Sustained revenue and good profit figures, or sustained WinPhone8 market share, or any kind of hard numbers for Surface sales, or news of increased PC sales YoY would make me change my mind. Right now it feels like MS is playing the PR game to hide all of those things, because they are bad.
