Good observation. MS is willing to pay a high price for market share. For example, nobody wanted Windows Mobile, so they paid Nokia to install it. Failing that (<4% mkt share), they bought Nokia. X-Box is another product they're paying customers to take, in exchange for living room share. It's lost billions overall since its beginning.
