So the 'revenue wind' will probably catch up with MS quicker than it might have otherwise. Barring buzz words, MS and Steve seem to have gone stale on the job & the real desire for innovation has gone. Instead of empty jargon, they should say what innovations they are planning.

The game is pretty well defined now. MS controls software, Google controls online. Software's still the big ticket item but online is catching up fast. Both companies are trying to position themselves to be the key player in the online space. Google is winning, but MS has a *lot* of money to burn and more time than most people assume before the revenue winds shift against them. Google won't see MS size revenues for at least 3-5 years - a virtual eternity online. Yoda says Ballmer Drive Matt Crazy He Does.

Why not just create cutting edge products consumers WANT?
