  • cloud services exceeded $75 billion
  • Office productivity software and LinkedIn, delivered $33.11 billion in revenue
  • Personal Computing unit, which encompasses Windows, search advertising, devices and video games, totaled $13.45 billion

Writing is on the wall. Xbox and Windows made money, but a fraction of what Office and enterprise services made.

Vertical integration. Windows underpins Office, and even cloud services.

Xbox though, they've already pretty much written its epitaph.

Isn't Linux mostly used for cloud services though?

I have no statistics, but my sense is that most orgs still depend on Active Directory, Sharepoint, and other services that are Windows-based and often hosted on the company's cloud structure. And Azure itself is fundamentally a Windows service.

Linux has become the most popular operating system on Azure as over 60% of customer cores run Linux-based workloads.

Even on Microsoft Azure they mostly use Linux

Maybe windows still underpins some important services for them though, I can't really comment on that
