<< Microsoft loses money on every WebTV/UltimateTV customer >>

You're not very forward thinking are you.

Practically every new technology requires an up front investment. Most new technologies take time to be adopted and reach maximum profitability.

AOL was non-profitable for many years. I'm sure you would have looked at AOL 5 years ago and said they were losing money therefore they were a bad investment. You would have missed out on buying AOL at the equivalent of $2.
