Here's how much money Microsoft's three new businesses are making

Microsoft has filed a document with the SEC giving more details on its new financial structure, which it announced yesterday.

The company is moving from five business segments to three.

Basically, the new Productivity and Business Processes segment corresponds with Office; Intelligent Cloud corresponds with Windows Server and other infrastructure products; and More Personal Productivity corresponds with Windows. Other businesses that used to be reported on a standalone basis, like online services and the Xbox, have now been lumped into those three big categories.

Here's how the three business segments fared in terms of revenue and operating profit (loss) for the last two fiscal years. The "Corporate and Other" segment includes broad-based expenses that can't be put into a single business unit, like legal judgments and general and administrative costs — and the $7.6 billion write-down from the Nokia acquisition, which happened at the end of its last fiscal year.

You can really see how all of Microsoft's current growth is being driven by its enterprise business — Windows Server, SQL Server, the Azure cloud, and so on. Revenue and profits from the Office business declined between its fiscal 2014 and 2015 years, and profits from the Windows business dropped quite steeply.

In detail, here's the breakdown of the new segments:
