According to the graph in the article they actually made profit in 2004 and 2005 and only a small loss in 06..<p>I'll admit some of the web products suck (hotmail?) but not bing, they haven't been able to profit from it. I guess currently they are after marketshare rather than profits. Think of it like a startup burning through some initial VC money to get customers except that they have a lot of money to burn!<p>Disclaimer: They pay my bills, but am not really a fanboy just not anti-microsoft.
