On: Microsoft’s shares sink by more than 10%

I thought they're already making a billion a year on Azure?

Xbox could be seen as a loss-leader to grab a place in the living room, where they've done better than most other players in the space.

Assure had 1b in revenue but actual proffit is based around internal booking keeping numbers some of which are a little off IMO.

Only 1.3% of Microsoft's revenues ($78B) are from Azure ($1B). Like he said: almost a rounding error.

Oh for Microsoft, maybe. I'd love to have rounding errors like that! A more salient question for now is, is that a rounding error for Amazon, Rackspace, Heroku, etc. as well?
