MS has spent a lot of money on devices that was "sure" to go nowhere: Zune, Windows Phone, Surface etc! Why not throw some money on something that can succed? If they want to win this they have to sell with a loss.
Give away the hardware and profit on the software, subscriptions and advertisment.

i think the surface doesnt do that badly tbh, generating more that 500million in revenue each quarter, meaning like 5-6million sold a year.

EDIT: I havent seen much of patcher so i dont know, but is he like the equivalent of what toastboy is to these forums?  (no hate)

i dont know if you read that but it said 'despite surface sales' meaning that they are picking up. If you were going for an article in my favour then you picked the right one. although the revenue went down compared to last quarter the article you quoted shows that sales are up 50% compared to last year. I think you should read through the article before you quote it.

 EDIT: the article actually proved my original point.
