Well then someone is going to have to explain to me the difference between the different figures.

Here for instance:
Financial Operating Segment History (Excel - 53.5 KB)

(hope that link works... it's an excel file)
It gives this:

  For the three months ended      For the three months ended   
Operating Income (Loss) September 30, 2008 December 31, 2008 March
31, 2009		 June
30, 2009		 Fiscal Year 2009   September 30, 2009 December 31, 2009 Fiscal Year 2010
Windows & Windows Live Division  $       3,049  $     2,712  $    2,266  $    1,921  $   9,948    $    1,460  $   5,394  $    6,854
Server and Tools           1,034         1,375        1,246       1,241       4,896          1,276       1,491        2,767
Online Services Division             (315)          (320)         (403)         (576)      (1,614)            (484)         (466)         (950)
Microsoft Business Division           3,178         3,021        2,755       2,705     11,659          2,857       3,010        5,867
Entertainment and Devices Division              160           130           (41)         (141)          108             311          375          686
Corporate-level activity          (1,107)          (979)       (1,385)      (1,163)      (4,634)            (938)      (1,291)       (2,229)
Consolidated  $       5,999  $     5,939  $    4,438  $    3,987  $  20,363    $    4,482  $   8,513  $  12,995

Which gives a different figure to yours for 2009. And given that it includes the quarter just ended I would presume it is the most up to date figure.

Or this for instance... which is an excel format file of the 2008 report... which gives different figures for FY 2008 and 2007
• Report in Microsoft Excel format

Entertainment and Devices Division                  (188)         (1,223)                    426           (1,969)

And again for 2007, 2006 etc... many different figures for the same divisions profit/losses.

All this information seems to be a lot more dynamic than it is possible to list in a permanent table. Personally with the nature of Excel
