Finances doesn't work in the way people here seem to think. It's not like you accumulate losses and then write them of with profits. If MS invested 7B, that it's already played for. The profits they are making now, or if they would make a loss, it's what matters. A company cannot focus on more than ten year old losses, them they would never make investments.
