"The LOSSES are actually worse. These numbers don't include the losses from Windows
Live. WL is conveniently hidden under the Windows P&L. I believe that team loses another
$600 Million a year. To do an apples to apples comparison with Yahoo, Google and AOL ...I
would count the WL losses too....The annual loss run rate is closer to $3.4 Billion...."

Bing Loses More Money as Microsoft Chases Google

| During Microsoft's fiscal third quarter, which
| ended March 31, the Online Services Division,
| or OSD, reported a 12 percent increase in
| revenue, which rose to US$566 million on the
| back of higher advertising revenue. That
| wasn't enough to offset a surge in operating
| expenses during the period. The division's
| quarterly loss grew by 73 percent to $713
| million, compared to a loss of $411 million
| during the same period last year.

Is Microsoft Bing losing steam?
,----[ Quote ]
| It was more of a flattening out than a
| significant decline, Google actually fell
| even more, and one month does not make a
| trend. That said it's worth noting that
| Microsoft's Bing search engine experienced
| a decrease in market share in the U.S. for
| the first time in four months in March,
| according to new data from Experian
| Hitwise.
