I agree w/ the OP, BUT is anyone surprised by this? This is another, desperate, 'me too!' attempt by Ballmer Co., which has proven, repeatedly, that it simply can't make money outside of their core competency of OS' and Office apps. They *need* new blood in this company *desperately* and until they get rid of the dinosaurs steering the ship, repeatedly, onto the rocks, it won't happen at the top which is where it is in most desperate need of a transfusion.

 (And please: don't even bring up the XBOX brand as a "success"*--it's only a success in the sense that it, finally, after losing untold billions, is turning small profits. From a biz standpoint, the XBOX brand is another loser but in light of things like Zune (and the pile of acquisitions that turned to ****), and perhaps Surface, it's a freaking overnight success story.)

*This is not a knock on the games, so settle down fanboys.

Apple Sony fanboys..

Apple Sony fanboys everywhere!

Microsoft gonna smash with Surface, Windows, Xbox this Quarter. Watch and Learn how Microsoft is allways on TOP.

Apple sometimes is on Top, other time was almot dead... Sony same thing... BUT Microsoft, man their are allways on TOP, you cant beat Microsoft, even if you try with all your forces!

Here for the next Xbox and for a INSANE QUARTER THIS WILL BE FOR Microsoft.

Windows 8 tablets sales will be insane, WP8 will pick up and Xbox will have once again a amazing holiday.. Surface will sell shitloads since they arent accepting pre orders anymore. New Office i didnt see anything yet but must be good.
