My answer assumes you don't have the photo anywhere else.
It's possible it was sold and not notified yet (sometimes GI sales seem to come in a month or a couple of months late. And it's possible it was stolen.

I think all you can do is contact CR to enquire. Don't hold your breath - ticket replies seem to be taking a while.

These delayed reports are a real pain for keeping on top of possible abuses.

The article is dated Nov 2015, so it certainly should have been reported already.

Stolen? It seems highly unlikely that a site such as MSN.com is going to steal an image (and if they were going to do so, even more unlikely that they'd add the (c) / credit line).

It was either reported last year and Riccardo missed it, or it wasn't reported (um, accidentally, one hopes).

Why would they date their article two months into the future?
Like the OP, I read 11/8/2015 as 11th August 2015.

KB is obviously an American who believe it is 2016 already, so their reading of the date would be month/day/year = November 8th, 2015 which obviously doesn't make sense because it's two months in the future. ;)

I think all sales for August have been processed at iStock, you will not see a sale on this image this month anymore.

However, as ShadySue already said, the reports are not necessarily made for the date an image was published but when the use was paid. With large customers like Microsoft, I would expect Getty has deals for something like a monthly payment. If the image was published on August 11th, it might only be invoiced on August 31st and paid mid of September which means you will see the sales report for it some time around mid October. And that's "if you are lucky" because there can always be another month in delay before it is being invoiced and paid. Having three or four months pass from use to the report is not uncommon.

Are you sure it hasn't been used under Getty's free use scheme

http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/resources/embed#

in which case I'm not sure if you'll get any money at all for it.

It hasn't been embedded. The images here - and the captions underneath - are what happens if images are legally embedded.

I thought the images could be incorporated into slide shows

or at least as far as Microsoft were concerned they could.

That Microsoft/Bing embedding had nothing to do with Getty's own embed feature, which is why Getty filed a complaint. The end of that article says "The technology teams of the two companies will now work to create beautiful, engaging applications and services for Microsoft users with licensed content and attribution for photographers and other content creators,

BTW (referencing KB's post above), I've had misused images from Alamy properly attributed (c)me/Alamy. (From these many East Asian sites that take content from UK newspaper sites.)

So where can we find out how much we're due from use of our images on Microsoft sites?
I bet any licensing deal between Getty and Microsoft will result in royalties so small you'd need a microscope to see them.

You can't separate them out specifically. They may (or may not) be the 1c payments which I've seen reported, for all I know.
