Well, if they really can and do see Microsoft's unique strengths, they'll notice that Microsoft is actually sitting on a world-class consumer-design group and a platform that could be painlessly [1] pruned down to a single cohesive media and social ecosystem.
Simply moving Microsoft down the Enterprise/Consulting road would be a huge waste of that opportunity and would piss off any number of partners and third party developers.
[1] It wouldn't involve screwing over partners, just clearing away the internal backbiting nonsense.

I can see how Steve Jobs could do this in his old company, especially when his old company was on the ropes, and with the support of the "reverse-merger" NeXT crew at his back. How feasible is such a political assault in a Microsoft that's still prosperous?
