Do they have any successful Hardware besides the Xbox360? All the other devices I am aware of failed pretty hard. Their OS and software on the other hand is great, IMO they should stick to this side of the company.

This is the point I think. They have been playing at it and have been late to so many parties, good devices that are just too late.  Looks like a new focus will bring an end to that. 

I agree. It would be great if they found a new device to release, but this time without trying to one-up Apple (which is why Zune failed IMO) and software/OS that's primarily developed for the device itself (IMO why their early tablets failed, they just slapped WinXP on them without really optimizing the OS for them).

They have shown a lot of potential in the last decade, but almost all devices failed because they were either late to the party or suffered from unnecessary mistakes. I think they learned their mistakes and will suprise us in 2-3 years down the road :D
