What does this company do, exactly?

Office 365 and everything it contains. Most major corporate companies use it.

>windows store
Pretty sure that won't be relevant until Windows only allows UWP apps.

they created code that runs most of the worlds personal computers and some servers in order to sell them more code that runs most of the worlds offices in order to give the data of you using the code to another company or government in order to hire a pajeet in order to clean the streets of india.

Make money off companies that use Office products and Skype

More than Apple is doing.

Lucrative government contacts

pile shit on top of windows 95 and call it a new os every few years

The best game controllers out there desu

They build kernel level IT monitoring tech. The consumer tech is just an offshoot of that.

I might be wrong, but I think they do computer stuff.
Hope this helps

>They get about 30% of every sale in the windows store
So they get their own money from Forza and Minecraft? Because these are only things people buy from Windows Store

A novice asked the Master: "I perceive that one computer company is much larger than all others. It towers above its competition like a giant among dwarfs. Any one of its divisions could comprise an entire business. Why is this so?"
The Master replied, "Why do you ask such foolish questions? That company is large because it is large. If it only made hardware, nobody would buy it. If it only made software, nobody would use it. If it only maintained systems, people would treat it like a servant. But because it combines all of these things, people think it one of the gods! By not seeking to strive, it conquers without effort."

It embraced Linux by starting to make their software run on it, and running it in Azure.

It extended it by dumping money into the Linux Foundation and making shit like .NET Core and VS Code.

Now, it extinguishes Linux by using it's pull in the Linux Foundation to tear the community apart.

SaaS was a mistake.

All I ever hear about them is from that Australian chink who makes things to help disabled people. She does good work and is good PR for them but I don't know what the rest of the company does now.

I like the 6-page answers that more or less run from 'switch it on and off again' to 'reformat and reinstall the OS' while throwing in most of Call Center Helpline 101 enroute for good measure

Revenue sources

They're probably a better place to invest than apple.

Office and Azure mostly. But their entire portfolio of profit models is unreal. They make money in a thousand different ways.

suck

Look, Jake... I get paid big bucks to sit around and daydream. I'm not about to rock the boat.

Who the hell uses Office much less pays for it?

produce malware

Seeks rent. Figuratively the shitty jewish slum lord of the technology industry.

Be based.

His point was that Microsoft, like Alphabet and Amazon, are diverse companies in terms of what they do and offer.

Apple on the other hand is basically selling you one thing and once that one thing goes under the entire company is going to go with it.

They've had better returns than apple over the previous 1y, 3y, and 5y, time periods.

MS is a diversified, they sell many products and if one stopped selling it won't be a major problem for them. Apple's money comes 90% from iPhone if that stopped Apple would be in panic mode.

>like Alphabet and Amazon
Nope.

There's several free alternatives that work just as well, is my point.

>work just as well
No.

It maintains Azure, the rest is just their hobby projects.

>What does this company do, exactly?
Embrace
Extend
Extinguish

>"Products"
Considering that Amazon sells everything under the sun, that's pretty diverse.

so when walmart undercuts and still offers free two-day shipping, amazon is fucked?

From my POV they run outlook.com (email), produce Office, and own Skype.

And most of it is rebanded chink shit

>Walmart being able to undercut Amazon with no infrastructure to handle the amount of online commerce that Amazon can

you know walmart has their own trucking fleet and a massive amount of stores everywhere? they just put your order on an existing truck for site-to-store and could easily ship from store to home with USPS.

If it was that easy they would have done it already rather than let Amazon run away with it for 15+ years.

Try telling Amazon's shareholders that.

Shit on their C++ users until they finally migrate over to Apple or Google products and milk Office for what it's worth.

you can accuse ms of a few things, but being a Patent Troll probably issnt one

>What does this company do, exactly?

They sell products and services so people get indirect money from things that happen by the use (by the use, not by the buying) of those services and products

Cloud, gaming, and office.

at least MS managed to buy github
