Live Services, XBox (hardware), Zune (hardware) and some other
products/markets already illustrate the highly abysmal reach
for markets that would supposedly cushion the fall. These
products lose a lot of money (e.g. MSN, XBox) whilst the cash
cows (software) lose market share. And you though it was
