It is true that Microsoft is not (yet) losing money, but still the 
revenues from its Windows cash cow cannot be what they used to be, if you 
look at the declining level of investment Microsoft is putting back into 
its flagship OS.

Its game division is also undergoing a bit of an upheaval at the moment. 
Its own games are moving away from being exclusives to its own console 
platform.

And look at its ongoing unsuccessful attempts to port Windows to the ARM 
architecture.
