What's up with all these articles lately. Analysts say a lot negative things lately about a lot of companies.
Stories unfolded with my home made rap songs. Feel free to listen here with lyrics: https://youtu.be/vyT9PbK5_T0

Stage does have a point then if we're talking about now. Problem is xbox has existed for 13 years. Server and Tools is mostly OS-related, I'd imagine, at least to an extent (Hyper-V and whatnot). What is Microsoft Business Division, that one's interesting. |
That is a VERY strange way to look at it.
Server and Tools include development tools (.NET Framework, Sharepoint, Visual Studio, Visual Basic) Servers (Azure, Windows Server - This is NOT Windows) databases (MS SQL). No this is not mostly OS-related. In fact it is not OS-related in any way.
Business Division is Microsoft Office and Office 365, so not Windows related.
And please keep in mind that the numbers for the windows division benefit from the recent launch of Windows 8.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
In other news Google should sell their web search engine and Samsung should sell their TV sector. Other news that will never happen Apple sells the their whole company to Google.

Their enterprise stuff. office, office 365, share point, lync. the cloud based stuff is driving MASSIVE revenues now. This is easy profit too. Enterprise will be the biggest profit driver going forward, it's guaranteed income, year in, year out from repeat licensing. This is mostly moving toward monthly fee per user income streams which is far better for Ms. |
I can only imagine! It's global and basically on demand, with Microsoft only needing to ensure their clusters are functioning (which they can likely automate with distributed cluster server administration software) and manual node replacement (when upgrading hardware).
The line between consumer products and OS and application software is fine. I'm not sure where S.T.A.G.E. was going with that, but I do admit that xbox and Zune were MS' attempt at getting out of the soft world and into the world of consumer products. Problem is that happened like 13 years ago. And since when is it a bad thing to diversify if your eggs truly are too close together (Windows and Office are pretty related though being different businesses)?

MS is longer only OS centric. You literally do not know what you are talking about. Revenue of windows division in the last quarter was $5bn of the $23bn total quarterly revenue Profit from the windows division was $3bn of the $7bn in the quarter. So windows is now less than half of the profits and about a quarter of the revenue. Are you saying that they dont want that extra $4bn in profit?
On the one hand people like you say they are spreading themselves to thin on the other you say they are doomed becuase PC sales are falling. Its contradictory, ill thought out and plain wrong. |
You're not listening at all. I was talking about the shareholders meetings, not the actual profits. I would tell them to shut up too if they saw the Xbox profits myself.

Well that's meaningless then. Shareholders meetings are pretty much never positive.
Even when a company is doing amazingly kickass.
Shareholders meetings are for questions and grievences, and that's really it.
