They appear to be pushing hard for partnerships in this area (in the UK at
least), but the failure of their endeavour has been unknown, until now. They
also do very badly against Google (Web services), Cisco, and Nintendo. It's
clear that a lot of money is being lost everywhere except the division of
Office and Windows (with not many hopes, plans, or spendings boosters over
the horizon).
