In this case, he is flat out wrong about Microsoft. This is one of the world's most innovative companies we're talking about. How do you figure that they are losing focus on their core products? Just look at XNA, Visual Studio, Live, etc. Microsoft provides the best platform development tools in the industry. They give out VS express for free! Search and business services isn't something new for Microsoft. True, they take competition too seriously, but at the same time, that's the trait of every company interested in being a shareholders' favorite.

Again more of the same and pointless. Selling ads Could be the dumbest thing I’ve read all year. Search engines make money. How is that pointless? #8 - Microsoft is too preoccupied with Google. Really? Look at the budgets and employees working on Windows and Office, vs. those on Windows Live. It’s clear the priorities are in the right place, and Live is doing great with smaller teams.
