- Windows Weekly 969: The Hidden Sweatshop
Microsoft is burning through billions on AI, but Wall Street is finally demanding to see where the payoff is. The earnings announcement triggered a $357 billion valuation wipe-out, the largest in Microsoft's history and the second-largest in history overall (Nvidia managed to lose $593 billion in value in the wake of DeepSeek in early 2025).
Windows
- Windows 11 has over one billion users - and, surprise, it got their faster than Windows 10 without any of the shenanigans
- Microsoft to address the quality issues in Windows 11 in 2026
- There is already evidence that Microsoft is trying to make Windows 11 suck less: Recent OneDrive changes that address a key ensh*ttification, and let's not forget all those security advances
- What did Microsoft really promise? Not much
- Microsoft has new EVPs for Security and Quality
- Microsoft belatedly delivered the January Week D update last Thursday, a preview of this month's Patch Tuesday
- Dev and Beta builds both deliver Mark Russinovich's sysmon tool
Microsoft earnings deep dive
- Microsoft reported a net income of $38.5 billion on revenues of $81.3 billion in the quarter ending December 31. Those figures represent gains of 60 percent and 17 percent, respectively, year-over-year
- Earnings analysis: All eyes are on AI and no one is happy
- Microsoft spent $37.5 billion on AI infrastructure (capex) in the quarter, up 66 percent YOY, and it's on track to spend $150+ billion in the fiscal year
- Every single question was about this and how it will ever recoup the costs
- There are now 15 million paid Microsoft 365 Copilot seats out of 450+ million Microsoft 365 seats
- OpenAI is Microsoft's biggest Azure customer, but it's unclear if there is any real money there because of accounting tricks
- Windows, Edge, and Bing all "gained share," PC maker revenues were up just 1 percent, the Windows 10 upgrade cycle was mostly a bust (it's likely that most of it was tied to RAM pricing fears, too)
- Xbox fell off a cliff with content and services revenues down 5 percent in a holiday quarter somehow and Xbox hardware revenue declined an astonishing 32 percent YOY
- Standalone Office 2025 suite was a surprise hit, Hood is curious if that continues
- Microsoft 365 "cost of business" up 10 percent YOY because of AI costs
- AMD revenues up 34 percent to $10.3 billion
- Apple delivers record revenues of $143.8 billion; iPhone made more revenues by itself than all of Microsoft
AI
- Microsoft is going to basically make an app store for content makers who wish to be paid for use by AI
- Anthropic advertises that Claude will be advertising-free, unlike ChatGPT
- The next Firefox will include the promised AI kill switch and Vivaldi "extends the middle fingerˮ to AI
Xbox and games
