But you are right, MS wants to have its hand in every piece of the tech pie and it just makes them look messy.

Just pick a couple things and be really good at them. You don't see Apple thinking they need to be in search. Speaking of Apple and Vista, when Apple does a major OS upgrade, it breaks almost all existing software, and they have no regret doing this. If only Micorsoft could be so bold (as they are in other areas) I don't think you would see them trying to make all of these land grabs into search, mp3 players, video game system, mobile OS, TV channels, and IP TV if they had an industry-best customer experience in just one of these areas.</p> Why does Microsoft feel they need to be in every tech related business?
