Microsoft may need an IBM moment of clarity
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft could use some of that focus. It’s not that Microsoft is forgetting
| the enterprise business. In fact, Microsoft is hellbent on being the No. 1
| enterprise software company. The problem: That enterprise windfall is funding
| things like Live Search and Xbox. I credit Microsoft for its willingness to
| invest and be tenacious, but you have to wonder about the returns here.
