    I thought their OS stopped being their major revenue maker a while ago? I assumed their Azure and Office services were the money makers these days, since they don’t really care about home users pirating Windows. They really just go after businesses, and many businesses are still running Windows XP due to either software incompatibility or the business not wanting to spemd money.

      I can’t find how the revenue is split out, but I think Windows counts for desktop and servers. What is also fuzzy is if advertising in the desktop counts as OS revenue or revenue for their advertising side. Shrug.
