It's not valid for the citation I called for though. You'd have to go back a 
few posts in the thread to see to what "Citation needed." was being applied 
to (which Tiib conveniently snipped to which he then provided non-relevant 
information).

Citation needed.
</quote>


The link that Nick Keighley provided is a detailed description of where 
Microsoft earns its money and what product lines are responsible for that. 

Your attempt to blindly label a reference as "not valid", without even 
looking into it and in spite of corroborating a specific statement that you 
called into question, leads me to believe that you aren't really interested 
in facts, and instead you are here specifically to put up a staunch defense 
of all which is Microsoft, no matter what it costs and on what nonsense it 
is based on.

The divisions they use has varied a little over the years, giving

A 10 second google search gives this:

<http://betanews.com/2012/01/19/microsoft-q2-2012-by-the-numbers-windows-revenue-falls-6/>

 From that, MS revenues are 30% Windows, 23% Server/tools, 30% Business, 
3.8% Online services, and 20% Entertainment / Devices.

As percentages of total income, business (Office etc.) gives 46% of the 
income, Windows gives 31%, and Server/tools gives 22%.  Entertainment is 
actually profitable after many years of loses, for 6%, while online 
services are 5% loss.

I don't know what use you will make of this data, but you asked for it, 
so I hope it makes you feel better.

You and others are missing the message for Tiib's inappropriately snipping 
and for me not retyping all the nouns. When I said, "That is hardly a common 
household fact", I was referring to this:

Oh, Tiib was grasping the low-hanging fruit perhaps (I think after going 
back and reading my post which Tiib snipped).

Time-out. Here is the context:

"> Also, don't forget that Microsoft only has two profitable products,
> Windows and Office,

Citation needed.

> and both are written in C.

100% C? Citation needed.

> Every other MS product
> exists only to generate more demand for Windows and/or Office.

Citation needed."

The first one, well Stephen should count the number of products MS actually 
has (100? more?). Then he needs to substantiate his "MS has only 2 
profitable products" statement).

The second one makes it sound like the producs are written mostly, if not 
completely in C, to which I said: "prove it", because I don't believe it and 
I think most would also find it absurd. (See more discussion at the end of 
this post).

The third one is the one I thought Tiib was replying on. I could have 
expounded and said more, such as, "Do you really think that MS Project 
exists just to generate MS Office revenue"?

OK, so now everyone should be on the same page.

Well, there are products and then there are business divisions. Under 
business division called "Windows" are products. Under business division 
"Office" are products. To make is sound like only 2 real *products* are 
making a product is simply incorrect because "Windows", e.g., is not just 
one product. A better example is Office for there is way different 
functionalities: word processing, project management, database, etc. If I 
had a company with 10 divisions but only one was making a profit, but it had 
10 profitable products while the other divisions only had one each but were 
not making a profit, would you go on and say that my company had 9 
unprofitable products and 1 profitable product?

Stephen's assertions are vacuous (but his post was maybe just a 
*thoughtless* posting) without substantiation. I think all three of his 
assertions are false (the second one maybe not literally 100% false, but I'd 
hypothesize (not guess, mind you) that there is a large percentage of C++ 
code in MS products and that C++ has replaced a lot of C code over the 
years).

Is everyone clear now?

You mean products like "Windows 7 Premium", "Windows 7 Professional", "Windows
7 Ultimate"? These consist of mostly same files and others are just
crippled versions of "Windows 7 Ultimate". Typical marketing trick.

What it is then? Sure it contains several modules but that's normal about
any software sold those days.

Yes, and the functionality is done by different modules of one product 
"Office Professional Plus 2010". What is so unusual about typical modular
design of a product? Rest of the "products" they sell are again just
crippled versions of that product. Maybe you are distracted by fact that
these modules were one day different products like Word and Excel, but 
now those are integrated together into single product.

You are stretching it and pretending that you do not understand what you talk 
about. What other products? You mean older versions of same products? Or
versions of same SW compiled and bundled for different hardware platforms?

Initially (first versions) were certainly mostly C and some Assembler. 
Why only C++? They still write Assembler and C and also they use C# now.
Rewriting something written in good C as C++ is lot more pointless and
also lot more expensive than you seem to think.

Actually, Microsoft sets up their divisions by market, each of which
make several products targeted at those markets--and share products, eg.
Windows is sold by the divisions targeting consumers, businesses, etc.,
but packaged differently for each.

> To make is sound like only 2 real *products* are making a product is

I think the term you are looking for is "product lines", and yes, the
Windows and Office product _lines_ contain several different products.

The point was to distinguish those two products (product lines, to be
precise) from the rest of what Microsoft sells, and that was obvious
from the context.

Microsoft has five divisions.  One division sells Office at a
profit--and a bunch of other products at a loss.  Three divisions sell
Windows at a profit--and a bunch of other products at a loss.

Within these divisions, the strategy is to develop satellite products
which lose money but increase the sales of that division's profitable
Windows/Office products for a net gain.  This "loss leader" business
model has been around (and complained about) for at least a century, and
probably much longer than that--and it works.

The fifth division exists solely to fight Google and loses ridiculous
amounts of money--because it sells neither Windows nor Office.

Enough is enough. I know you f'd up and just shot of a NG post, but now 
you're trying to defend it? OK, noted: you're a hen-pecked "husband,

Welcome to Usenet, Jens.  This is hardly a feature of this ng 
specifically.  My suggestion, which you can treat as you like, is to have 
a sort of "black list" and "white list".  Those who (in your opinion) add 
nothing to the conversation, you simply ignore, whether automatically 
through your newsreader or manually.  Those who are nearly always worth 
reading, you look for first, especially when time is short.  The rest, 
read when you have the time, not when you don't.  My own lists would be 
of little value to you, and possibly insult/compliment some here without 
purpose, but I can say that there are regulars to this group in each.

Bruce, thanks, but that is (basically) what I already do. But often
there is not such a clear cut, some of these egos all of a sudden are
able to produce valid contributions.

And I have taken the habit to mark such things when they are directed
towards me personally. Just to not to leave the impression that I
pretend to not having seen it and also to ensure that anybody notices.

You can quibble over their motivations for doing so, but their track
record clearly demonstrates that _is_ what they're doing.  Once or twice
I could chalk up to a mistake, but their patterns of behavior is
consistent enough to be considered deliberate.  They're not idiots; if
they wanted to do something different, they would.

100%?  I doubt it.  But that's the primary language, i.e. that of the
core product features.  The flowery stuff around the edges, which
changes in every release, may well be in another language.

Statements from several current or former employees of Microsoft who
work(ed) on those products.

Explicit statements from both Gates and Ballmer on the topic.

Yes, I know none of the above are specific citations that would be
acceptable in an academic paper, but they are solid enough for me to be
comfortable with my position--especially since I have never seen even an
_unsupported_ claim to the contrary.
