I fully agree that Micosoft has been neglecting their core competencies lately, but I think they should expand into other markets, only they should be a lot smarter about it. I do not understand ther obsession with the strategy tax and the preservation of the windows monopoly. They seem to have made bets on many of the right things (online gaming, tablets, Internet tv, mobile computing), but except for online gaming they have pretty much been outhustled hy the competition, despite their head start.
