The difference of course is that most of those retailers and manufacturers are primarilly conduits of capital. They may collect a lot of revenue, but the vast majority of that is immediately transferred back out to their suppliers. They just retain a modest profit margin and operating expenses.

Microsoft, OTOH, is more like an economic black hole. Huge chunks of the revenue they collect just accumulates in their bank account. They don't seem to be able to figure out what to do with it, even though it's obvious that over the years they should have been investing more of it in improving the quality of their software.
