Not very long tbo, everything they've had a "vision" for this console seems to be completely failing to them so they are left scrambling to reverse their methods. If the share holders want the division sold, how long will Microsoft test their patience?

When you find a shareholder that comes out and say they want the division sold let us know.  If shareholders want anything done it will happen and that would include any corporation.  If you are using investors and getting the 2 confused you need to know how much pull investors have on MS.

I saw this article awhile back http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/02/05/investors-want-microsofts-new-ceo-to-kill-xbox-bing-and-surface/

Yep, read the same article a while back. As mentioned in the article, the new CEO is being advise by Gates and software the direction he is going is still in line with Gates vision.

Yes I noticed that, but what I want to know is who are these two shareholders mentioned in the  article and do they have a firm enough grasp to lure the company into a different direction?

Those 2 guys have been going on for years trying to get MS to go in a direction that would be best for short term goals which increase stock prices but nothing else.  Sony have their own type of investors they have to fight as well that want the PS brand spinned off.  These are the type of investors that are purely for profit and nothing else.  They would turn and burn a company in a minute if it would help their botton line.
