The thing is for all the people who look at these numbers, with no analysis, will try to spin some analysis when M$ post numbers for this quarter, and by that, I mean Windows 7 shipped and will really skew these numbers to the postive. What people don't realiuze is that for most of the Xbox lifetime, Vista has been a drag, along with Zune and Mobile, so as those product lines turn, so will EDD. I can imagine some serious howls, if EDD post an outrageous profit number.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think neither Windows 7 nor Vista are part of this division.

The retail revenue passes thru for sure, but I'm not sure as to how cost are handled...I would imagine those are not tagged to EDD, while all the profit is passed on.
