So true... every large corp I've ever worked for has soulless bosses... Especially those in the company that are high performers...they just dedicate their soul to the corporation and get nothing in return...maybe more PTO and pay but it ain't worth it...

Xbox flat without ABK doesn't bode well. And that -29% in hardware is better than recent quarters and it's still massive.

Xbox and hardware are irrelevant. Most of Microsoft's profit comes from Azure.

Unfortunately for Microsoft investors now understand that the company is just the IT department for OpenAI, they aren't really bringing much of value to the table.
