At one point I remember Bill saying, ‘If we don’t have something like Xbox in the marketplace, we don’t have a comprehensive consumer strategy. Either we do Xbox, or we sell the games division to Electronic Arts, we ditch MSN and we just focus on servers and Internet Explorer.’”
or that.... it is exactly what was and is the real issue here..... pretty much without XB MS would have become the IBM of software.... still going big but focus on professional or very specific markets..... and honnestly as much as people hate MS and windows.... a world without them would be a severe pain...
