To MS it simple maths. Desktop OS worth considerably more in revenue and profit than netbook or tablet OS.
If the desktop market decline and the tablet share increases MS needs to shift a lot more tablet units to compensate for the lost of the desktop revenue.
I believe this is part of the reason MS was so slow on the tablet market uptake.
Although the enterprise server market is holding up it is coming under more pressure from linux - forget the web servers - I don't see that market growing as more companies (mainly in Asia) are adopting linux following the examples of Amazon and Google.
All in all I think MS are doing the right thing under current circumstances.
I hate the MS monopoly on desktoplaptop OSes and hopes for a more even playing field but that's up to the others, not MS.
