Microsoft to OnLive employees: we won’t buy ya, but we’ll hire ya

[fauzman]

I find this strange. Looking at sony and MS, one would think that sony would be the one to hire employees and keep costs down, while MS who are still very profitable right now would pay out the few hundred Ms to get the staff and all assets. Especially when you could argue that cloud access is more relevant to MS (with the whole Windows thing) than sony. Maybe they are already far along in developing their own cloud-based system.
