Also the loss is only as a result of the $6bn write-down as discussed in that article... Not as "shocking" as the article would want it to appear.

This.

There was no actual money lost rather an operating income profit of $6.9 billion less the write down.

Nokia's sales are also picking up steam again after launching the Lumia.

This article is stupid, mostly because MSFT deferred alot of their income.

Revenue is up to $18.05B : http://arstechnica.com/information-...-a-beating-in-spite-of-record-fourth-quarter/

MSFT stock up since announcement: https://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:MSFT
