"With Microsoft's investments in the entertainment industry steadily declining over recent years, Microsoft may be revealing groundwork for a new business strategy that is less focused on entertainment, and more focused on core applications once again."

Which might lead to some new spinoff/startups that actually, you know, listen to their customers.

This could be a Good Thing.

It just goes to show you how important customer service is to a business and how you should NEVER assume you're too big to be harmed by bad PR.

Wait just a second....I thought for a minute there was water in my ear or something.....

"With Microsoft's investments in the entertainment industry steadily declining over recent years...."

...whhhhhaaaaaaaaa???????

They seem to have been pretty dang well-focused on a little entertainment thing called an "XBOX".......it's claimed the mind & life of my son, who is, as I type this, playing online with, like, a total of 480,000 other players at the moment......in just the one particular game title he's playing right now...
