Look at it from an investor's standpoint. Microsoft has burned piles of cash to buy second place in a market and is struggling to recoup the expenses of this generation, let alone those of last generation. That's not creating value for shareholders. No matter how much consumers like to buy subsidized hardware and software, it's not a success from an investor perspective. |
Nope its not. However the alternative was what? Sit on the money? Buy another couple of companies? So far the ROI is better than the interest they would have recieved from sitting on it and the latter option could have gone either way. I don't see them as being mad, perhaps more disapointed that they couldn't have done more/better.
Tease.
