The 900 million adjustment is most likely a retailer refund on revenue already collected due to price cut.
So if microsoft shipped 10 million Surface RTs and expected 500 bucks a pop in revenue (5 billion dollars), and now is adjusting price by 150 on unsold units (6 million), it has 900 million less revenue.
It doesn't mean they are "losing money" on the Surface at all...
